PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING:
*****I do not consider myself a 'professional photographer" but I do try to give you photos that are 'realistic in color.. Please understand that all screen monitors are different, so the materials can look brighter (or duller) ,more intense or less intense from one computer/phone to the next.
In order to give you close up photos so I can provide you with all the detail, the photos can tend to make the item look GIGANTIC & everything is more magnified & exaggerated than in actuality. When you get these in hand, you do not notice as much, what otherwise looks more extreme in the photos. So to get an accurate idea of how big this is, please pull out a tape measure/ruler & compare to my given measurements.
