I LOVE this piece. It looks beautiful horizontal or vertical and will fit in just about any space. The stones are decent size as well and consistent enough to look cohesive but not manufactured. The fabric background adds a great natural texture. It can look good in a modern, minimalist dark home or a “by-the-sea” view I think which makes it super versatile. I just love this piece. I can’t get over it. Even the backing looks elegant with the velvet borders.
