I love this item! It was exactly what was advertised and what I needed. It came in a timely manner. There were no problems with the products or the shipment. I had read a couple of reviews that said the wood was really rough but I didn't think it was bad at all. It definitely isn't completely sanded down, but it's meant to be more rustic, so I think it looks wonderful. The stain was done nicely. It even came with two packing wooden boards, and I'm going to use those to make a sign later on. I'm very happy with my decision to purchase this item, and would definitely recommend it to others.
