When I told my husband I was buying a mirror to hang in the dining room he thought that was weird. "Why on Earth would you hang a mirror over there?" he said, but once it arrived (really quickly!) and he saw it hanging, his mind was changed! It's an eye-catching piece, interesting, but not overwhelming. It was easy to hang (I recommend two people since the mirror is large enough to require an extra hand). In my opinion, it has an antique store-like quality at a not antique store-price, for a mirror of this size and quality.
