I love this mirror.  It is  definitely a statement piece, and we get lots of compliments on it whenever people visit.  It is VERY heavy.  There is a warning on the back that it is to 'lean' on the wall, vs be hung.  We mounted a wood brace across the back and then securely attached to the wall, as hanging it was more practical for us with small children.  If you are hanging, just make sure it is secure - because it is so heavy it would be dangerous if it fell on someone!
