Avoid avoid avoid this company and product!!!!!
Horrible experience with this company and product!!! Zero stars are in order. I ordered the unfinished product so I could stain it myself. When I received it I was shocked to find that there was a knot in the wood that had been sliced in half and that’s right where the glue joint had fallen. Also the glued ‘side’ piece had a funky grain that wasn’t even close to looking natural at the very visible seam.<br /><br />Using rustic to describe mismatched seams and sloppiness isn’t acceptable. Unless you look very, very, very closely at the photos you won’t see that the seams are on the front of the ‘beam’ and the joints are fully visable when looking at it. I would have happily accepted that if someone had taken the slightest amount of care in matching the pieces so my mantel actually looked like the ‘beam’ it was promising to be but that wasn’t the case.<br /><br />Being an optimist, I contacted the seller and asked for an exchange...well optimism quickly faded. I got a very short, bordering on rude, reply that the ‘beams’ were advertised as rustic and if I didn’t like the product I should return it. So I did.<br /><br />Now I’ve sunk $90 in shipping for an unusable product. Buyer beware, rustic means sloppy in this case. Avoid this product and company at all costs.  Feel free to check out my other reviews, I don’t trash companies/products but this one has angered me.
