When I pulled this out of the box I thought it was an unfinished piece.  It was definitely less refined than the picture.  It was dirty and had a couple small wood fragments that fell out when the packaging was removed.  After cleaning it up it definitely looked better - more of a nice rustic than just some dirty scraps of wood pounded together.  However, I find the $150 price tag more than I would have paid had I seen it in person first.  So...I guess I'm satisfied, but not thrilled.
