This is a show-stopper. I have it hanging above my small dining table to define the space, and it is nicely neutral but still interesting. I originally wanted it for above my mantle, but with the wide frame (almost 7" wide on all sides) the mirror was too high on the mantle. But I love where it is now! I agree with the review that said the frame is a little darker than pictured. It is not a bright silver but rather burnished with a silvery sheen. Actually it goes with my medium-dark gray couches really well. The mechanism to hang this heavy piece is well designed. It comes with everything you need to hang vertically or horizontally, and even screws on the hanging hooks to make minor adjustments in the level after hammering the nails in.
