We couldn't find anything like we wanted and this ticked a lot of the boxes. A lot of what you get at the big box stores is cheap materials that are not solid wood.

This has a good weight and grain. My dissatisfaction is in the bracket and system used to hang this one. If hanging on studs or wall this system would be perfect. We are using on a brick fireplace and the slight unevenness inherent in the bricks caused the bracket to deviate slightly. I had to make it work but took a lot of adhesive. 

Overall, I do recommend it especially if used on a wall or access to studs.
