This is a lovely wall shelf. I was quite surprised at the fine quality and beauty. It is intricately carved nicely to the point that it is classy and not gaudy and the ivory color with touch of gold is soft and goes with any decor and color scheme! It is a nice size, not too large or small; kind of heavy, but made solid! And it came very well packaged! I am well satisfied! I hung it with a gold round mirror in my dressing room and it added a touch of class and charm! It has my recommendation!
