Let me say this...........I am a 'thrifty' person (OK, I'm cheap!), so I gave much though to purchasing this item.

Because is it a custom order and I'd be unable to return it if unsatisfied, I sat on my decision for days, but finally took the plunge.

OMG!! I am SOOOOOO glad I did!

Firstly, it came much sooner than projected, which was great and secondly it is quite a substantial plaque.

It is heavier and even more well made than expected.

The color was true to picture and there was no blurring of the filigree like lines like one can find on lesser quality products.

It was very well packaged and came with coordinating colored screws for hanging.

VERY satisfied!
