I am so happy with this item. It is larger than I really envisioned (even though the dimensions were given) and it looks fabulous as a focal point on a large wall! The white is perfect. Could be a tad more distressed, but it certainly does have a distressed appearance. It is a fairly true white, not ivory. I'm a satisfied customer! This was my first Wayfair experience, and I'm glad I tried it! Quick shipping and it was packaged with care.
