I hate it when you order something on-line and are disappointed with what you receive.
It's great that ECS offered you a refund on their end. That is wonderful customer service. Since you have decided to keep it --- I suggest that you write or e-mail Riolis and inform them of your dissatisfaction.
I am in awe of your decision to stitch this piece -- way too dark for me to even consider.
Keep us posted.
Kristi -- I think that someone on your end needs to look at this and update the ECS description
