Wow!  Do yourself a favor and Buy this mermaid.  She looks gray initially, but since I put her on a blue wall, she looks slightly off-white and goes wonderfully with my black/white pics and rugs, and the rest of my decor.  I do not own a drill, but used a punch to make a hole, hammered in the anchors and replaced the 3 screws, [the ones that came with it would not tighten, replaced them with a size up.]  There were not any directions, but it was self-explanatory and the latch she hangs on is most secure.  I am so happy I splurged on myself with this gift and once again, Wayfair came thru for me (:
