Very fun piece to have in a beach house, but cheaply made.  Lots of paint issue that are not related to distressing, and very clunky.  Top piece doesn't fit tightly on the 3 oars, so it moves and makes noise, especially if you have it on a hard floor.  For me, this is going next to the front door, which would not be the first impression I want to give.  I would not recommend this item.
