Is 56 inches tall enough for a full-length view?

For most adults around average height, yes. If you are tall or want to see your shoes while wearing heels, a 65-inch mirror gives more headroom.

Does it need to be mounted to the wall?

No. It is designed to lean, but leaning mirrors should be secured with a wall strap or anti-tip hardware, especially in homes with kids or pets.

The aluminum frame is lighter and easier to move alone. Wood frames feel sturdier and warmer but weigh more and usually cost more at this size.

Aluminum, finished in a multicolor tone. It resists warping and rust better than painted wood in humid rooms.

It is built as a leaning floor mirror. Hanging it would require your own hardware and is not the intended use.
