I've seen metal sculpture for walls. Most of it is pretty tacky. This sculpture is a cut above. The stones in particular are quite nice. They are like polished rocks, not like shimmery gemstones. It's a good look. The piece arrived with several of the stones broken off. But there are so many that I'd be hard placed to figure out where they were missing from. The piece sticks out from the wall about 2 inches. A nice look. One difficulty is hanging the piece. The directions say to sink a couple screws into the wall. After a visit to Home Depot, I found some molly/screw combination with screws that were long enough (essential) that they would stick out of the wall enough that they could reach the loops. You need to be a little handy to hang this thing. Once up, I'm enjoying it.
