Its a very pretty piece of art, but Im not real happy with the black piece of particle board they put it on. It looks like it might have gotten damp at some point and made the board look funny. I wish it would have been on real wood. Oh, it also has a worn look on one of the sharp corners of the board, and the paint is missing a little. Thats where you can see the particle board. I was going to return it, but my husband threw away the box. So Ill just have to deal with it.
