Love this mirror. Is quite large - fits my space well.  From the front, the frame is silver. But the outside of the frame is black, which shows from the side view. It is simple and clean looking. It's heavy and the hooks did not exactly fit on our studs - the distance between hooks was not the distance between the studs in the wall. So we had to use Molly bolt type hooks to support the weight. Not a problem we just had to buy these hooks. The mirror is really stunning.
