Item looked exactly like the photo. I used this panel as I redecorated my office for online meetings. I was able to install it myself with no help. I used a jigsaw to trim down the size and used black screws to secure to the wall. I was able to only find one stud to secure and used screws in the sheetrock as well. Since it’s fairly lightweight at about 23 lbs and I’m not adding any additional weight, it’s holding up nicely. The panel was well packaged but there were a couple of blemishes on one end. I installed it at the bottom so it’s not noticeable. I’ll likely take a little touch up paint or stain to cover it up.
