First of all, this is a super cool thing to hang up on your wall. It is hanging over the fireplace mantel in the living room. 

My ONLY complaint with this is that there are no hanging devices/mechanisms on the back of the frame. We bought some D rings and wire to hang it with, but putting those D rings in managed to create some splitting wood on one end of the plaque. Also, the width of the wood on the back of the frame where you'd put these D rings is not wide enough for the D ring--thus, the D rings are partially exposed. This is a heavy plaque so you wouldn't want to use a measly hanging system like a simple nail. (Or so my boyfriend says.)

Ironically enough, when we bought the D rings and wire at Michaels craft store, there was a similarly designed plaque but had different wood, global map picture, and size. However, the back of it already had preinstalled the D ring system--how nice it would have been if this one had it preinstalled, too!
