I purchased this mirror to use over a computer desk that was in the corner of one of the bedrooms.  The mirror was already nice the way it came but just a bit shiny for the look of the desk.  I liked the mirror a lot so I didn't want to return it.  Instead I rubbed a bit of paint on it and it did the trick.  I get many compliments on it.  I would recommend as the style is nice and contemporary...just keep in mind it is shiny.
