Tested it by hanging it at my front door and it never failed to get noticed. One of the most desirable qualities of mosaic is the reflective quality of the glass. The surface shimmers when you walk by as each piece of glass catches the light. (Also makes it a bear to photograph for a camera hack like me). It's been discovered that the pieces in ancient mosaics were placed at different angles purposely to enhance this quality.
Though mosaics can take a beating this particular piece was not made to be directly exposed to outdoor elements, rain, snow, etc, like a garden or lawn mosaic would be. It will do great sheltered under a porch roof.
Cabinet doors had a life before this one and imperfections are to be expected, just like in us.
