This item was handmade by me, from sourcing the materials to sawing and construction, so there may be imperfections. Please examine the photos and decide whether to purchase. The finish is three coats of varnish. To keep the price down, I will disassemble it for shipping as shown in the fourth photo. Please assemble it upon arrival. The tenons and mortises were made tight, but if they become loose, you can use glue.
