this is a solid, beautiful, well-made and well-packaged mirror. the box it came in was well constructed, reinforced and padded, so no worries regarding shipping damage. the wood accents are beautiful, the glass is flawless and distortion free. it has straps for hanging on the wall in either direction, plus a stand. its thick and heavy (see photos) so will definitely  need to be well mounted to studs, if a wall mount is planned. hinges on the stand will lock in place. i feel the stand is sturdy but it is heavy, so if you have pets or children, best to consider an anchor as well, for safety. you would not want this lovely piece to be knocked over to fall on anyone due to rough housing. it is stable but if treated carelessly, it is heavy.
