More of the blue paint is rubbed off than appears in the photo.  So, it appears more dull and old. The finish is almost greasy feeling.  But, once you get it on the wall, that doesn't matter.  It hangs with 2 exposed hooks, so you will see them when it's hanging.  Overall, this looks nice and fills in a narrow wall space with style.  Reminds me of something Joanna Gaines (Fixer Upper) would put up (just an imitation though).
