LOVE LOVE LOVE! This is exactly what I was looking for. It was on sale for $150 so at that price point for a mirror this big, I was in heaven. The frame is metal, not super heavy. It is definitely a "brighter gold" (not darker brass or antique looking) so matched our stools perfect. The metal frame is actually two pieces that are joined by a seam so while this industrial look worked for us that was something I didn't notice in the add. The metal was also a bit "rougher". Overall I love this and would recommend it! Only complaint the tiny white Styrofoam pieces that came out of the box all over my floor (see picture).
