I have not hung it yet, but removed from box to check it out. It's a rather thin sheet of glass, no backing, but looks classy. (I was expecting it to be thicker glass). The edge is what gives the impression of a frame. I knew that going in, and I got it anyways because it looked interesting and I'm hopeful it looks nice on the wall. I think it's a tad bit overpriced for what it is though.... Well packaged.
