I love this art piece.  The scale is perfect for the space I needed to fill.  It goes well with my family room decor overall.  It is true that you can see letters on this side, but this really didn’t bother me.  It is more of a beige with brown lettering not gray with black but that was precisely what I needed.  It is somewhat overpriced for what it is made of - but it was worth it to me to get the exact piece I needed.
