corten cube planter

I bought the small cube planters to replace a planter that cracked over the winter (Minnesota). Shipping was lightning fast—I think I had two days later! They seem very sturdy. Assembly was a little challenging as others have noted, getting the screws and wing nuts in the little diagonal corners was challenging but I timed myself and each took about 18 minutes total to assemble from a closed box.

We are now in the “speed rusting” stage - photos are before, after one coat, and after two coats. I think about 6 coats will be perfect! (Don’t mind the lawn, purposely doing this in a crappy spot where grass won’t grow!)
