I took a chance on buying a reduced item instead of an unopened one , I was a little apprehensive as there are no returns , however I trusted that it was inspected and I was thrilled when I received it ❤️ I did paint the bamboo lower legs and the bamboo handle gold to coordinate with my other decor ! I would absolutely recommend it whether you buy it brand new or not ! I’ve never had a bad experience with anything I’ve bought from Wayfair
