First off,  I have not hung it yet, but it looks secure and easy to do. I really love this star, especially for the price!! The glass has a nice decor on it. You should note that 1) the sides are open; the glass is only on the front and back. 2) The candle space will only accommodate a 1.5" tealight, not a 2" votive. The metal portion is slightly weathered, but I like that. If you're on the fence, I would totally buy this.
