Bought this mirror for our entry, but it looked better in our bedroom.  It is more of an expresso color than golden, so am now buying a sunburst for our entry.  The veneer is very thin, so be careful as I scraped a little off the bottom when I set it on a rough vase to see how it looked.  But the design is very unique and the mirror quality is excellent.  I think this is a wonderful buy for the design alone.
