Got the mahogany wood item and it looks good overall, just a shade or two darker than what you see in the pictures
Beware - it is hollow on the inside so if you want a solid log of wood as your mantel shelf if you intend to place heavy objects on it, go to your local lumber yard, get a solid wood log of your choice and stain/finish it before fixing to your wall
Strangely, whoever stained it had their hand prints all over the back but you can't see it after mounting to the wall
