This is a pretty nice item...just as pictured. Its not as elegant as the more expensive, all wood ones but its doing the job. I like the design of it. The border is wooden and then the cut-outs have this fabric-like paper inside, which makes it seem a little cheaper, but the design makes up for it i guess. I like how light looks passing through it. It smelled like paint when i first took it out the box, but not as much anymore. I can see it getting scuffed up, so Ive got to be gentle with it. It stands on its own, of course, but its not too heavy, so i have it wedged btwn the wall and a small dresser when not in use just in case.
