The mirror is heavy, and sturdy in build. I was skeptical when I first saw that the hanging hardware was just two hanging nails, but it made installation a breeze, and the hanging nails seem to be holding up just fine. They do make the mirror stick out a tad at the top. I really can't believe how good it looks in person. If, like us, you don't have enough headspace for a thick-framed mirror, this mirror is a no-brainer.
