While I love the style of this mirror I was not pleased with how rough the welded joints look. If it had been a distressed look and finish it may have been less noticeable. The finish is a solid brown, not a varied two tone finish that others have mentioned. I hope once it hung that it looks better from a distance but this will be hung over a sofa table in a prominent place in a clients living room so it may be more noticeable than if hung over a mantle. I would have looked for a better made product had I'd known the quality prior to ordering.
