I purchased these to go with a spanish/gothic decor theme in my bedroom and they work well for this purpose.  The wood is slightly darker than pictured on my screen, which I actually prefer.  They were easy to hang and have held up well for the several months I've had them.  I would note that these are not the sturdiest of pieces.  The metal detailing is screwed into the wood and in some areas this is not all that secure.  When mine arrived, some of the screws had come loose and one at the very top of the panel had actually pulled free taking a small piece of wood with it. This did not bother me too much and I didn't want the hassle of returning and waiting for a replacement, so I kept it.  Overall, I'm happy with this purchase, but the workmanship could be much better.
