This mirror brightens the whole room... we have it in our living room right in the center of the main wall. You enter our home on the basement level, so when you walk upstairs, it's the first thing you see. Simply beautiful! We have a gallery wall surrounding it, so it's truly the centerpiece of the decor. It was packaged wonderfully (I always worry about mirrors and frames breaking in transit) and it has 2 "D" rings so it was a cinch to hang. Also very light - about 10 lbs. I would definitely recommend this mirror to anyone looking for a statement piece at a reasonable price.
