Hopefully our ugly bathroom walls don't take away from the beauty of this mirror. We are scheduled to paint so it will look amazing once we are complete. This mirror is smaller than the one it replaced but is large enough for our needs. Finely crafted so should last many years. The mirror itself has some weight to it but I was able to hang by myself. Of course, my wife provided play by play analysis but I was able to hang in maybe 10 minutes. I did not trust the hardware that was included so swapped out with some 70 lb rated anchors and screws. You only need two no matter which orientation you hang it up. We opted for landscape as opposed to portrait. The mounting brackets on the back doubles as support so as to not bounce around while cleaning and such. The matte black frame is plain yet classic and we just love it. Again once we paint and swap out the light fixture, this mirror is going to stand out.
