Review on EZDC Decorative Ottoman Farmhouse Serving by Deejay Allard

Feels solid, nice and big and will definitely do the job. But I'm disappointed that it's almost black and not entirely smooth. I tried deleting it with pledge as it was. dusty, smoky? It said something, IDK, whatever. But the rough parts of the wood ripped off the fibers from paper towels (white material in the photo). So yes, everything is fine. I will use it and everything, just want it to be brown rather than black and smoother to the touch.
