This piece is just the substantial accent we needed for our pool area. Its not distracting but adds a great pop of color to tie our pots and umbrellas all together in the motif. Its very large and impactful without being out of place. As others have said there are some minor defects in the paint (that you wouldnt even notice once its hung) but its an outdoor piece so I figure it will take a beating from the sun and weather anyways so i would almost prefer it not be so perfect. Its heavy duty yet easy to hang.
