Horribly ugly in person. What to do? Return it or try to make it better? The colors are basic red, blue, and green. Hideous. There is NO patina to the wood, no different shading to the wood. It's not weathered or rustic. It looks like it came from a pre-school classroom and painted by children. That said, I can try taking some stain and maybe DIRT to give it some character. It is heavy and made of all wood. That is the only plus. Wondering why do I bother. Ugh.
