I ordered this piece in the distressed white finish and was pleasantly surprised at the beauty of it.  It looks amazing on my light grey wall.  The first one I ordered came damaged, so after calling customer service, I received another one within 2 days.  It seems to be made out of some kind of wood composite material and has some weight to it, so I would definitely recommend hanging from a stud.  I wanted a little more of a distressed look, so I took a nail file to it and got the look I wanted.

Pros: Well worth the price
