I ordered this as described, "distressed". It arrived and is in good condition, but it is black matte not as described. I did not open package till I arrived many weeks after shipment did, and chose not to return it and use it in another room. I would love to have this piece as described but it was not to be. I just do not enjoy returning fragile items which need such careful packing. So here it is. 

Pros: Great value
Cons: Not in finish I ordered.
