I could not believe I got this mirror on the sale I did, I thought maybe it wasn't a real mirror but reflective material for the price it is indeed a mirror and I thought it was just leaning against the wall in the photo and I like that look so I bought it as I wanted to do the same with it in my living room, it has a stand to it! So yes it has a little natural lean but provided by the stand in back! So it doesn't lean against your wall and mar it and you don't have to hang it! Awesome!
