Many of our signs are made out of recycled pallets. Due to the nature of a pallet, all of our signs are approximately the sizes that are mentioned in the add. The picture shown in the listing is a very close representation of the item being made for you, but it is not exact. The size of the design remains the same on most of our signs, and the sign gets bigger to allow for more signatures. The first photo in the listing is the default color and design! We will only send a proof if requested on the order page notes. If we do send a proof please let us know if it is accepted within 48 hours. If we don't hear back within 48 hours we will assume you like it:) If no color or design request is made in the note to seller section, the sign will be made with the primary photo design and colors, using the names and dates. All of our signs have unique distressing unlike any other sign. Knot holes, nail holes, cracks and other imperfections are all part of recycled pallets, and are a completely normal part of a rustic sign! Our main goals are quality and complete customer satisfaction!
