One of the great features of this mirror is the ability to hang it either horizontally or vertically.  For right now, I am hanging it horizontally, but it is nice to have the choice.  I have hung it in the bedroom where its classy brushed nickel finish coordinates perfectly with the lighting.  Installation was easy and the mirror was hung in no time at all.  Everything you need to hang the mirror is included with the packaging including anchors, screws and wall plates.  The finish appears to be durable and hopefully it will not tarnish.  I am very pleased with it and its overall modern look.
