Very pleased with this purchase.  Easy to hang.  The backing is real wood.  But it is not solid.  This does not take away from the quality for me.  The hooks are nice and heavy.  They do swing.  At one point there were two of the same items listed on Wayfair.  One was more expensive than the other.  They are the same item... Not sure what was going on there.  I would recommend this item.
