Adore this mirror!  It was actually heavier metal than I thought it would be and I'm glad it is - not flimsy in the least. It's what I would describe as brown/black or similar to oil-rubbed bronze, so it's very versatile and has a little variation in the color.   Gorgeous.   I bought 3 to space out over an 85' master vanity and installed sconces in between them.  Lovin' It! The built in shelf gives it character and I mix decor items with practical bathroom stuff like small silver hair spray canisters and hair gel jars.  Beyond satisfied with this purchase.
