Received mirror and it was double boxed nice and secure. The mirror is an antique black which has hints of gold which are more noticeable on the decorative accent at the top of the mirror. The description stated it was metal, but all pieces are not. The decorative accent and a few other areas are plastic for that reason I gave it a 4 star. It is going to be used over a fireplace and the material of the frame should not be noticed that height.
