My neighbor received hers as a gift a few years ago and said she never did want to use it because she didn't have any place for it. Because it was new, she didn't want to throw it out. People around here aren't big on garage sales unfortunately. She said she was going to donate it somewhere but forgot to unload it. Pity! Mine mine mine!

The one I received as a gift was square. The one my girlfriend gave me and the one my neighbor just gave me in the box are both rectangular. One was a rusted pretty bad and had originally been white and the other one in the box was some sort of an oddball copper tinged with black that looked sort of cheap when I compared it to the cast black rod iron square Wardian Case. I sanded down the rusted one this morning and primed it. The one out of the box I also roughed up with sand paper a little bit then I primed that. I'll go touch them up in a few days once I'm sure they're dry. I'll wait a few more days and give those two a high gloss white finish with a paint made for outdoor patio furniture. That should do.

Yes, I'm excited. This will be fun and I have a place for all three of them.
