The shelf is okay, but not at all what it looks like in the picture.  I was expecting a darker wood with a rustic look; however, what arrived was a much lighter stain, and a completely different pattern.  The picture on the website looks like it is one block of wood, but what arrived looked like rectangular pieces glued together.  The mantle is also much more glossy than I expected, and looks nothing like real wood.  I would have given it fewer stars, but I was pleased with Wayfair's willingness to return it and pick up the shipping.
