They are very sturdy. I bought 4 of the same style, different sizes, all 4 have different shades. The gold is fading. Look more like gold and silver blended colors. One looks bent and came without the paper stencil to be used to hang on the wall. I’m guessing that I received a returned mirror but paid for a new one. From far away, they look pretty, get close and all the defects can be seen.
