Not only did it arrive late, delaying my project, it's not what I expected. The veneer is not your typical paper veneer found on fake wood furniture. It's a plastic sheet with a printed image of wood grain glued on real wood. Looks really fake and not worth the price. If only they sold the slats without the veneer, they could be stained or even painted. Save the planet and your money and don't buy sheets of plastic glued on real wood.
