Love the pattern and the legs of this fireplace screen. Plus, it was really hard to find a visually interesting screen at this larger size and for this price point. I was on the fence about painting it matte black to make it more modern, and I am glad I did. The brass is nice, but the matte black finish goes better with my esthetic. What others wrote is true--it doesn't sit entirely upright. I solved the issue by putting on foam pads to the front parts of the legs to tip the screen back (in my case, the screen was tipping forward, which was unnerving).
