I initially was really drawn to the contrast of the wood and the almost bronze-looking hardware/bars that are part of the stand.  After receiving the piece, we realized that the bars were a very silver-looking color, which is not at all what I had wanted.  It fits well in the corner for which it was intended, and the wood does look sturdy and real (which is definitely a plus).  I was not super impressed with the overall quality/look of this piece when taking into consideration the $173 price tag.  However, we will make it work, since taking it apart and returning it is not appealing, and it is a piece I can live with (I just don't love it, like other pieces I have gotten from Wayfair).
