First of all this is large! You need to really understand how BIG this is! I ordered it to be a bathroom vanity centerpiece and while it works , it does take up A lot of space. My main concern is that it is not stable and sits wonky no matter how much you try to adjust it. I finally got it straight by adding washers between layers so try that if you have purchased it. I see that many have complained about chipping paint but honestly I don’t think that is a real issue and it is supposed to be rustic so any wear will only add to its aesthetic. I might have sent it back but honestly I am a little lazy about things like that and it has the hard to find shape I was looking for. After getting it straightened out and decorating it (still not complete) I will say that overall I am pleased with this purchase.
