Super happy with this stylish piece.  The gold isn’t shiny, it’s matt.  And the stripes are tasteful with blue and off white so the combination is tasteful.  Nice and sturdy too. I’m, a “healthy” gal so when I say its sturdy, it’s sturdy! Bought this piece to put in my bathroom but I liked it the moment It was assembled and left it in the bedroom for now. Another Wayfair score!!
