Sorry to have to say - I don't think this is solid wood as mentioned in the description.  It's more of a pressed fiber product.  Looks like some I have that was used to protect a piece of furniture I ordered online. There is a thin piece of wood, maybe plywood, attached to the back probably used to screw on the metal part.  Paint sticks better on the back, paint on the front doesn't stick very well, in fact it feels sticky.  Thought I would sand it and repaint, but don't think this fake wood will sand.  I am sad about this. It's beautiful in the picture.  Attached two pictures of the front and two of the back.
