The back side needed sanded as it was uneven warped However, once sanded, you can’t see the imperfections

Just as described. Easy to put up and looks very classy.

I ordered the ceiling medallion in "primed" and plan to paint it to coordinate with the room. It arrived quickly and well packaged; my only complaint is that the hole in the middle isn't centered; fortunately, the canopy for the light fixture is large enough that it conceals that the hole is off-center. The ceiling medallion is much heavier than others I have purchased; I am sure it will require construction adhesive to keep it attached to the ceiling. I am so looking forward to having it installed.

Elegant and well made
