Measurements true. Sides 2.5 inches in middle, tapering to half inch at points. Swoopy, think pillow, not a flat box on wall. All hefty metal, painted, satin finish. Colors: Note: my set is not reflective of monitor display so be careful. The idea of the four tones is there, but 3 are very dark (like: java, walnut, and silvered expresso), and 1 is olivey taupe, lighter. Beveled mirror, excellent. Easily hung. These look high end, quality.
