I've had this about two years and it is perfect. We have a looong upstairs hallway that is an open loft to the downstairs, so anything here is very visible. This is a rustic piece with raw driftwood-like wood that is perfect for our lake home. It is wide enough for a large vase of flowers and two tall buffet lights with small bases. It is not easy to dust since the wood is raw, but maybe that helps dust not settle as this isn't ready apparent.
