It looks well made. The horizontal grain against the vertical slats is jarring in my opinion. It can be a rough ride selling furniture, especially if your pieces don't have an exceptional or completely unique style/form. Most of my (not many) sales came from word of mouth. I made massive efforts in online marketing and makers fairs etc, none of that resulted in sales. It can take a long time to establish yourself and find the right niche. Even the Eames had Herman Miller selling/licensing for them.
