I wasn't overly impressedWith all the positive reviews on this item, I guess I set my expectations too high. The frame says it's wood with high gloss laminate, but it looks like wood beneath, and then a layer of plastic on top. I was expecting it to look more like wood than plastic. I ordered the blue steel color, so maybe it would look better in a darker color but I don't know. Fortunately, this was not my main gift to the Wedding Couple...I was looking for a frame to put a $100 bill in rather than just sticking it in a card. I still think it will be a very nice gift....just not as fancy as I expected. I order a lot of personalized gifts from various sites, so not my first dealing with a personlized item. I did order the personlized Father's Day tabletop frame, and it is really nice...that one I was impressed with.
