This is a great mirror and built really well.  The color is a little toward taupe but not beige and not grey.  It looks amazing! I don't think it is nearly as heavy as the specifications say.  It is likely 20lbs.  The only minor criticisms are that ours had a light smokey film on the glass which took some time to clean off.  It would be nice if the decorative wood and mirror could be separated for easy cleaning but that would be tough to manufacture.  We love the mirror and it is perfect for our large niche.
