I want to make this a five star item, it's absolutely beautiful. The only problem is there is a crack that goes entirely through the wood, approximately 2.5 inches long. The flaw isn't enough to make me want to return it, since otherwise the piece is heavy, substantial, and as intricate as it appears online. Some woodfiller, a bit of sandpaper, and a paint pen makes for a fairly easy fix, but I really wish it didn't require fixing.
