The black metal initial door sign looks exactly as it appears in the pic. I'm going to hang it either next to my front door or over my garage door - I'll have to see which location I like better. The wire hanger that comes attached to the circle is not very nice-looking, but it's easy to remove and replace with something better. I also am not going to use the burlap bow that came with it, but that's just my personal preference. If you like the rustic look, you'll want to use the bow. I'm happy with this purchase.
