This is even prettier (and much bigger) than I anticipated.  It's definitely a statement piece and I do sort of live in fear of it getting dirty, since I have not yet figured out how to clean it, but I placed it in a lesser- trafficked room.  Definitely a 'wow' when people see it.  I do agree with another reviewer, that when I took it out of the bag, there was a weird smell to it -- but that quickly disappeared and now no odor whatsoever.  Don't buy this if you want 'discreet.'  This piece won't be ignored, but I do love it!
