I like the concept of the hanging mirror. The size is great, its sturdy and well built. It is very rustic if that is the effect you are going for. The finish is rough and distressed, the rope is like its straight off some industrial sea-going vessel. The hanging peg is quite distressed and rustic too. More cottage rustic than industrial rustic. I use it in the entrance and as the frame protrudes a good 3" its become a bit of a shelf for me as well, keys, glasses etc. Would recommend if one is into the rustic vibe.
