Pretty in the pictures. Frame is thick, painted Styrofoam. Mine arrived broken and paint flaking off. The item looks very "heavy" and needs a big space (note it is 3" thick). I think from a distance, on the right wall it will look stunning.  Just don't look too closely for paint flaking.  We did not hang the mirror since it was broken, but photo gives good idea of how it looks over a mantle.  Wayfair made the return/refund super simple.
