This is a distressed gray color that holds true to the color of the photos shown online.   I did think the frame was solid wood from the look of the pictures and the reviews I read but it does appear to be some kind of high quality contact paper if you look very closely. I normally would not be happy with this kind of finish but this honestly looks like solid wood.  Its manufactured by Bloomsbury Market and is a solid mirror. This mirror looks beautiful in my farmhouse styled bedroom.
