It's a shelf.  It floats.  You can see what it looks like in the pictures.  If you don't like it in the pictures, don't buy it.  If you do like it in the pictures, buy it.  It's really that simple.  I bought two - one for my main floor powder room and one for the water closet in the master bath.  Nice place to put a candle, and a couple of little knick-knacks to bring some character to the room.
