Disclaimer: Every item in my shop is hand painted and assembled by a human being. Each one will be slightly different and unique because of this. There are sometimes natural flaws in the wood that may cause darkening or fluctuation in the cut pieces. If you have an issue with things not being exactly like the picture, this shop is not for you! There will not be any returns/refunds on items being different than the picture. If you understand that each piece is fun and exclusive in its own way, please continue and enjoy your purchase!
