I always hold my breath when I open the box from something I get from Great Offer Stock. NO offense, but I've had good and bad experiences. So, I was so relieved when I took this one out. It looks fabulous!. Does not look cheap at all. It has a nice weight to it, but not crazy heavy. The brown iron is just perfect for Old world or French country decor. Mine didn't come with any hanging hooks or anything, but my husband just used picture hanging mounts. It looks great!
