This is a 3 piece Set. This set consists of three, free floating, engraved shelves. Each shelf features an engraving which celebrates women. These shelves look equally nice on the floor or on a table, and they provide for you a special place to display your cherished items. Relax. Meditate. Be reminded of your strength. * The large altar is approximately 3.25 inches tall x 9.25 inches deep x 24 inches wide. * The TWO small altars are approximately 3.25 inches tall x 7.25 inches deep x 7 inches wide. Each altar is made of solid wood and so that your mellow remains un-harshed, I have rounded the edges of the shelves to make them smooth and comforting. Stain has been hand rubbed on each piece and then it is covered with spar urethane to help protect it from moisture, light, heat and sun. I use a spar urethane because it provides great protection without an overly glossy shine. Both alter bottoms are stained and have protective cork pads on their cute little feet. You can choose a stain color and choose a distressed or non-distressed finish. Please note, golden oak & sun-drenched oak stain will minimize the look of any type of distress due to its already light coloring. The distress option: The distress takes the form of a light sanding of the surface to simulate years of use. The corners are more heavily worn while the area towards the middle is left more pristine.
