The colors on this piece of metal art are very close to what you see online. The piece is pretty light weight. It was packed well and arrived undamaged. I actually bought two of these. They were placed on either side of large windows. I would have loved to be able to turn one of the pieces to its back side so the two pieces could mirror each other, but they still look great on the wall. They are larger than they look in the photo and look great on a beige wall. We've gotten many compliments on these pieces. It was a nice change to have abstract pieces instead of all framed art work. They are easy to hang with the materials provided. This was a fantastic purchase at a great price.
