This is the first nautical piece that has arrived for my spare bedroom.  I really love it.  It’s nice and solid.  Very sturdy but still lightweight so it was easy to hang.  Looks just like the picture.  Now, I saw some reviews that said their rope didn’t come tied like the picture.  My rope was tied fine but the end was frayed instead of being knotted.  But I actually like the frayed end so I left it that way.  Can’t wait until my other nautical pieces come in!
