Exactly As Described! Durable, Solid Wood - Simple but Nice
My wife had been bugging me about a 'command center' in our kitchen for a while. For her command center, she demanded a calendar, a bulletin board to get some of our six-year-old's stuff off our fridge and a storage slot to unload some papers from our counter...  My demand was not to clutter up our walls, and to keep things consolidated and simple.<br /><br />I wound up finding a whitewashed / distressed whiteboard calendar at a local thrift shop and we both thought it was pretty cool, so we picked it up.  Unfortunately, finding other whitewashed / distressed organizers to go with it was a bit of a challenge, especially since I didn't want to spend hundreds of dollars to match a cheap calendar (or at all, really)...<br /><br />The customization available for this organizer is really cool, and provides a lot of flexibility to match or compliment other decor.  I wound up going with Antique White / Distressed, and wile it's not identical to the calendar, it's actually pretty darn close  - definitely close enough not to contrast or clash with it!<br /><br />The organizer itself is solid wood and constructed well.  Measurements provided on Amazon are exact.  It's chunky and hefty for its size.  I literally just mounted it so we haven't messed with the chalkboard or bulletin board, but they both seem durable, and should function as intended.<br /><br />The design is very simple and clean.  If I were to do it over again I may have added a few hooks in bronze to tie it together with our cabinets, but since the base is legit wood it wouldn't be too hard to add them, and it's definitely nice without the hooks as well!<br /><br />It's a nice piece!  No complaints here!
