Due to the value/price and due to the uniqueness and versatile styling and size of this mirror , I give 5 stars. On my monitor the photo with the candles is fairly true to what I rec'd with regard to FINISH. It's a polished metal but has texture and a brighter than pewter metallic finish. Makes it a bit more modern if need be but for this project it worked above a 1930's walnut dresser in order to provide more personality and wall display area rather than the too large original mirror of the dresser. In future one can re-use this almost anywhere when re-decorating.
