Story behind the item:
Veena Boonmee has been using Buddhism to express her artistic talents for seven years.

Each Buddha face is precisely hand carved over a month period on a very thick piece of acacia wood, leaving no detail uncovered.

"Great piece if you are trying to add that Zen look to your place. Took a while for the wood/stain smell to go away but overall I give it two thumbs up! Be aware that you will have to hang each panel from a metal piece attached to the top of the wood which is visible. Didn't bother me but some people might not like that set up. I'm sure your local hardware store can supply you with plenty of alternate hanging suggestions."

"I love the "tone" of this piece and was very pleased to get it. Note: THERE ARE ACTUALLY 23.75" W. X 36" H, which is what I was hoping for (seemed to make sense given the ratio/size of the smaller version). Mine also had quite a lot of mold covering (all 3 of) the panels. I would have freaked if I hadn't read about this in a prior review (I am fatideous about cleanliness). However, I just wiped them with mild soap and water, let them dry...and they are FINE. Only reason I didn't give this item a better rating is that you do have to work to get it "just right". The hanging brackets show at the top of each panel and cheap looking. I strongly recommend an alternative mounting method and to clean panels prior to display. Also, mine came with uneven lines, top and bottom of each panel. Personally I prefer "not too perfect" (ie. rustic), but you may need to plane off/trim and re-stain to get straight edges. Overall, I think this is a great deal for a nice piece of "art". Recommended."

"Ordered this for a living room piece and really like it.. It makes the room feel more like a spa than a formal, boring traditional living room. Looks really great with a small light shining up on it. It does smell like leather (although there is none) and wood and I have had it for several weeks. If you are close you can smell it otherwise, its not noticeable. It is much more 'rustic' than the picture shows but I like it better that way. As another reviewer wrote, the head does face the other way. I would purchase again. And I did not find it difficult to hang or match up the three panels at all."

"After reading the reviews I decided to go ahead and purchase this item. The reviews were correct. This is even better is real life than in the pictures. It looks a bit more distressed in person which, in my opinion, really only adds to the beauty. There was a smell to the wood when I first opened the box, but a couple of weeks out of the packaging and it was gone. I would recommend this item to anyone."

"superb work for the price. I attached the panels together with metal braces before hanging as one piece with D-rings that I used to replace the inexpensive "hangers" that came with the panels. It is a beautiful piece, especially for the price."

"I was very excited when this arrived! I have been eying this piece for a couple of years now, trying to decide between the brown and gold, the full size or the large. Each time I made a decision it would sell out and I would have to wait for a hopeful restock! Overstock has a good system in place for restock notifications. It is just that I think this piece is hard to come by at this price. Once the restock sold out within the hour of my notification. I ordered this piece in the large 36" dark wood and it matches perfectly with the reclaimed teak furniture in the room. Each piece has little subtleties that make it differ from one to the next, definitely a hand carved piece of hardwood. This one actually faces in the opposite direction from the one you see listed. It arrived well packaged however there was a bit of panic upon opening due to quite a lot of mold covering one of the panels. Thankfully the piece is sealed so the mold was completely removed with a cloth and was not actually growing in the wood. It appears the mold was due only to the inner wrapping being allowed to get wet and remain damp before packaging for shipping. Other sites have this Veena Boonmee design for twice this price in the Acacia wood. The only downside is that the hanging brackets are above each panel and are clearly visible. Something that is easily changed. All in all I am happy with this purchase and it was worth the wait. The piece is beautiful. If you are mulling this one over don't wait too long ."

"Hello, Received the piece and love it. It’s nicely carved and looks wonderful hanging over my bed. It was a little hard to hang and line the three panels correctly.
I mounted two pieces of scrap wood to the back and screw all panels together and hung it as one piece. This worked wonderful.
I would recommend this anyone that wants a quality piece of art.
Kudos to the family’s in Thailand!"

"This 3-piece Buddah is as beautiful as it appears on the web site. The wood is gorgous. I am very glad I purchased this item and would do so again. There are three pieces so hanging does take a bit of thought but nothing complicated or overwhelming."

"I highly recommend this piece...the acacia wood smells wonderful and looks stunning. It's a little tedious to hang because it does come in 3 panels...so you have to line it up just right..but it is absolutely beautiful and I would purchase it again."
