I like this item. But when I got it out of the box it had a small piece broken out of it. It was on the bottom so it did not really matter for what I wanted to do with this. The thing that causes me to give this less than a great review is the color. In the catalog it looks tan. Out of the box it is more of a yellow. It makes it not look near as well as the picture in the catalog. In the end it still looks nice where I put it. And is interesting to look at. I put it on top of the frame for a porch swing that is out by my pond.
