It’s disappointing to have to rate this so low.  I’d been watching this Erick Riyo mahogany hall tree for well over a year or more and snapped up when it went on sale. The item would’ve easily been rated five stars had it looked like the one in the photo but it didn’t unfortunately. Whoever “antiqued” the mirror was either a novice or apparently having a bad day, as they were clearly too heavy-handed with the black paint intended to create an aged appearance. The unfortunate end result cheapens the overall appearance of what is otherwise a beautiful, well-made, very solid piece. Once I determined that I can easily replace the current mirror without damaging the item, I decided that it wasn’t worth the hassle of returning it. Otherwise it would’ve gone back at least for an exchange, as the mirror’s appearance alone would’ve been a deal-breaker.
