This piece at least the one I received is not distressed it is primitive. Numerous areas of what appears to be damage, loose nail,  sliver causing breaks in the wood. It looks like they went out in the discarded woodpile got some 2x4 and nailed them together. Most all my house is white distressed furniture. This was disappointing.  Which was puzzling by all the glowing reviews.wayfair customer service has always been helpful and tries to resolve issue
