I purchased two of these mirrors. One of the two was in perfect condition, the other had imperfections in the finish which look similar to paint splatters. Wayfair ordered a replacement for the second mirror. I am overall very happy with this purchase and they added a nice rustic, yet refined touch to my daughter's room.  The mirror can hang vertically or horizontally. I added a picture wire to the back to hang it with a single nail and it is holding well.
