The frame itself is lovely. I am only giving it 3 starts for the following reasons. When sliding the back onto the frame it is very easy to damage the felt covering. Another reason; the felt is very poor quality, it flakes off leaving black dust on your hands and on whatever you set them on. I used them as placeholders for my Son's wedding and had to be careful not to soil the white tablecloth that they were sitting on. All and all for the price I guess it was a minor inconvenience!
