We are very pleased with this item. It is substantial without being heavy. The color is true to the description given. We are even more pleased with customer service. The first time we received this item, it arrived damaged. They offered to send a new one and, although it was out of stock at that time, they tracked it and issued the replacement as soon as it was available. We had noted that it was no surprise to us that the first one was damaged because the packaging was so flimsy. When we received the replacement in perfect condition, the box had been reinforced on all corners and the inside had lots of air bags to cushion it. They obviously listened to our feedback and took corrective action.
