I live on the west coast and still love this frame. I have it in my screened-in porch overlooking my garden - gives the room a very rustic, "outdoorsy" feel. Even though I dont' live in the Midwest, I feel like it is a really beautiful piece of art and love that the reclaimed barn wood can be used over again to make something unique and beautiful!
I bought this as a wedding gift for a friend that is really into the eco friendly stuff. She is from the Midwest (lives out west now) so I figured it was like giving her a piece of where she was from (grew up in a rural farming community). She cried when she read the little artisan story (Greenheart put a small artisan story in the box when they shipped it). It's just beautiful, but the story behind this eco friendly gift really makes it special. You can tell it's hand made - really one of a kind. Kudos to the artist that savaged the wood for this frame and then made it.
The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it is somewhat delicate - you can't throw it around or drop it, becuase it's recycled barn wood, it can flake off. But really stunning wedding gift for someone.
