FAUX CROC.....GOOD OR BAD??

OK I know I said I wasn't going to shop while home for Thanksgiving but my Alabama Picker (aka Mom) "forced" me to do a little picking at a local favorite spot.  I am the first to admit, I'm still on the fence about my purchase.  It's one of those pieces that at first glance you are like "hello" but then looking closer you start questioning the quality and whether or not it goes cheap.  In the end, the price was cheap, $50.00.  So I decided to take the risk and see if this piece will work in my office.

Without further adieu......



It is hard to tell in the picture but the entire piece is covered in black faux croc.  Is this cool?  I'm not sure.  I mean Jonathan Adler has several pieces in faux croc so it can't be all bad.  The brass plated finish detail is also very shiny but like I said, I'm only out $50.00.  I was drawn to this piece because it reminds me of the Mastercraft featured in Elle Decor months back.  My friend Kathy actually scored one in Nashville and I've been coveting ever since.  Mine is nowhere near as cool as the Mastercraft piece but it will have to do for now.
