The finish of the mirror is rustic but the metal bars are pristine and look almost like PVC pipe, although they really are metal.  It somehow just throw off the overall look of the mirror.  It's excellent quality, but I'm just not crazy about the bars.  The finish on them just doesn't "fit" with the mirror.  I was really disappointed.  It's going back and I'll keep looking for a different mirror for the space it was purchased for.
