Delivered the morning of 24 December, but I was not pressed and the holiday season explains it. The shovel is pretty gray and yellow. Consistent with what I had ordered. No need to bend down, my back and my knee say thank you to the designer. For cons, the rim of the bucket only works if the shovel is leaning forward because otherwise the debris pass under the shovel, which is not the purpose of you will admit. This rim deserved to be metal.
