I'm a little disappointed with this frame because the one I received isn't as grey as the one pictured. With mine, more of the natural color of the wood shows through and this was not the look I wanted for this frame. Additionally, the way this particular frame was painted was sloppy. The top portion of the frame looks as though it wasn't painted at all and has a black appearance. I am however, keeping it as it was only $17 and not worth the hassle for me to return. I still plan to use it in my wall collage, but not before I paint it.
