I received this for a new to us beach home, not impressed, most reviewers claimed the distressing looks so much better in person, ummm, I do not agree.  It looks like a bad distressing job and just like the photo.  It does the trick in a small nook in a dining room, but that is about it.  Not solid wood, not artful thinking of where to apply the paint and where to remove to an authentic aged look.  Was not impressed, but will keep it.  I may end up using chalk paint to make it look better.

Pros: Good shape, height and proportions
Cons: Amateurish finishing
