This is a painted metal "floating" shelf, with decorative wrought iron detailing. It is 13" wide and 13" tall. It is about 6.5" deep. The shelf slants very slightly toward the wall to discourage items being displayed on it, from falling off of it. The top surface has some scratches and scuffing, especially at the edge in a couple of places, but if placed correctly, you wouldn't be able to see the surface of it. Preowned, normal wear, mild tear.
