I ordered two of these frames in white for a bathroom, but they would look great in any room. The frame does come with built in hanging hardware now, whereas earlier posters said they had to attach it with screws. No more! It's ready to hang right out of the box. These frames look way more expensive than what they cost here. The beading is just right--very classy and chic looking, without overdoing it. The finish isn't overly shiny. There's a sheen to it, but it's subtle, without looking matte. It was very well packaged when it arrived. I put Monet paintings in them. One thing I'd improve if anything--there are tiny gaps between the boards in the corners, where they meet. It's barely noticeable, but if you're a perfectionist it may bother you. To me, it's just part of their charm.
