It fits the space I needed to perfectly (ensure you measure and read the dimensions, this piece is nice and large!). I read the biggest complaint was it bending and not having a fixture to hang. So I was prepared for that.... We used nails in four sections across and hanging it was easy peasy. It does bend easily... But once it is on the wall, no worries there.  It's even nicer in person: it has a rustic, rusty look to it.
