“Its beautiful!”

Sankofa Gleam looks just as wonderful in person as it did on the website. I love the combination of wood and metal, and of course the design is perfect -- it has become a focal point of the room. I can tell it was made very carefully, by someone who cares about his work. It comes with a leather loop attached to the back, too, so it was easy to hang. Im delighted!
