The packaging on this mirror for shipping was very thought out and well executed, but some how this mirror still ended up with a few scratches and marks on it. This is a replacement mirror for the first one that was even more roughed up and that one had great packaging as well. The back has like a caulk going all around the mirror which I’m guessing it to keep the mirror on, but I’ve never seen this before and I own a lot of mirrors. It just looks kinda sloppy not that your looking at the back often, but I hope it holds up. Well on to the good parts…the back frame does have holes for hanging vertically or horizontally and I like to have that option. The frame is a pretty gold shade that isn’t brassy or fake orangey gold and is a nice thickness. The size is really the bonus for me as I was having a hard time finding that Goldilock size that wasn’t too big or too small which surprisingly was hard to find.
