This is a sturdy, solid wood piece of furniture thats easy to put together and had the perfect measurements for my space. Im an artist, so believe me when I tell you that the Tiffany Blue color isnt blue, but rather seafoam green (med/light green on the bluish side of the spectrum). The wood is rough, not smooth, (though heavily painted to disguise), and the toboards arent even, so a vase or lammay not sit straight without shims. Due to the tight place where Im putting it, I didnt want my skin scraped or clothing snagged, so I used plastic wood putty in white pretty much all over and sanded it down so its now smooth and tois even. After the putty and sanding, the woods grooves and other textures are showing and look really cool, so Im going to give it a light white wash then a couple coats of polyurethane for durability and smooth surface. Ill post pics when its finished. Bottom line: if youre ok with a rustic, rougher/textured solid wood painted piece its fine as/is. Otherwise youll have to do some work on it. For me, once its finished, Ill have a cool/looking one/of/a/kind piece that fits my space perfectly and didnt cost an arm and a leg, just some extra elbow/grease.
NOT BLUE/ SEAFOAM GREEN
