This product is nice, it has a rustic sheen to it, so it's not completely shiny except from a distance. The reason for the 2 stars is the time it took to ship, given it was not on back order and it finally shipped from just a few miles down the road. More importantly, the packaging (or lack thereof) is pathetic. It's like they just throw it in a flimsy box and put a single sheet of thin Bubble Cushion on the front and a piece of cardboard on the back. Needless to say it arrived damaged with 3 dents
