I ordered this item and it arrived with the mirror completely shattered. I attempted to exchange it for another one which then arrived with a scratch in the middle of the mirror and on the frame. Needless to say, I did not try a third time. This is a very cheap mirror and even if it had arrived in one piece, there is a very noticeable seem on the wood frame. Do yourself a favor and spend a few extra dollars on a better quality mirror.

This is a nice cheval; workmanship could be better, but for the price, it is adequate. It has a very obvious seam on the frame, but all the parts fit together as constructed. If you don't look at the frame really close, it's a nice overall addition to a bedroom. I can see my entire self in it, top to bottom. If you spend more money, you will get better workmanship.

This mirror is beautiful. It is easy to put together and looks a lot more expensive than it is! You may see a small seam or there may be a small area that the finish is not quite up to par - but for the price you cannot beat it! The packaging, in my opinion, could have been better - but I feel fortunate that mine was received unscathed. The color is true to picture. We're very pleased.

I got this mirror as an early Christmas gift. The gift-giver, my grandmother, was a bit worried about the glass shattering as it was shipped, as she had read a previous review in which a buyer had received fragments of glass in the package. However, it arrived safely intact, and I am pleased to say that it is very beautiful and holds up well. It was easy to assemble, and I had it up in no time. I am very impressed at the quality it shows. Before setting it up, I had a few worries about it tipping over once it was standing, but I have bumped into it multiple times, and it remains upright, and not at all wobbly. It is unobtrusive in my room and looks very nice.

This mirror is very well made and I am very pleased with it. In general, you don't get beautiful and functional in the same product. However, this mirror met my expectations and even went beyond them! Very happy.

This is quite a nice mirror, and not just "for the price." Assembly was very easy and intuitive (thank goodness - the instructions are badly translated and nearly incomprehensible), taking only ten minutes and a screwdriver to complete. As another reviewer mentioned, it was missing four small washers, but as the other hardware came in a sealed plastic bag, this oversight was most likely on the manufacturer's end. It may even have been a misprint in the instructions - had they not been called for, I wouldn't have noticed anything wrong. If you feel you absolutely must have them, raid your junk drawer or spend the fifteen cents they'll cost to replace. My only other concern is that the slide-together assembly of the legs might be a bit flimsy, but a dab of wood glue at assembly should more than compensate (this is why I gave it four stars instead of five).

The finish is lovely; very rich and colorful. Yes, the seams are visible (and show me a mirror of this type for under $500 that you can't say that for), but they're also symmetrical - both sides match perfectly. The joins are very well-done, with the pieces dovetailed together instead of just butted and glued.

The mirror arrived in perfect condition. The pieces were mounted in styrofoam and double-boxed, with a thick layer of bubble wrap in between. The outer box was clearly labeled "GLASS."

All in all, this is a very nice product, and I would happily have paid twice as much for it. Highly recommended.

Big, huge chip out of the wood frame. Finish was like they coated it with urethane and then shoved it in the box and packing to let it dry. You would think a respectable company would inspect items before they ship them out. Emailed the company, no response from them. You get what you pay for....

The mirror glass is very clear. It is beautiful to look at. The color of the wood is very rice and the size of the mirror is very full.

THE MIRROR WAS A HUGE AND UTTER DISAPPOINTMENT.
IT WAS CARELESSLY AND POORLY PACKED. THE MIRROR
WAS NOT JUST CRACKED IN A COUPLE PLACES BUT BROKEN
AND SPLIT.

IT WAS SHOWN AS CHERRY COLORED WOOD. IT WAS BLACK
ENAMEL. SO PRODUCT WAS TERRIBLE.

AMAZON SERVICE AND ATTENTION AND HELP IN THIS MATTER
WAS EXCELLENT. STILL WAITING FOR THE CREDIT TO SHOW
ON MY CREDIT CARD. BUT FEEL FAIRLY CONFIDENT IT WON'T
BE A PROBLEM.

I am very pleased with this mirror. My mirror arrived without issue (I thought it was very well packaged - lots of bubble wrap and styrofoam prtocting it). It was very easy to assemble. There were four small washers missing but I assembled the mirror without them as they weren't really neccessary in the first place (see pics). It looks really nice in my bathroom. I reccomend, however, that you consider the space that the feet at it's base will take up. I didn't think about this when I ordered mine and had expected it to sit closer to the wall but the base takes up a 20" X 20" square so I had to angle it into a corner. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase and would definitley reccomend this mirror, espcially for the price!

The first mirror I received was broken. I called the dealer and they shipped another out the same day. Great company and a great deal. G. Fredrick
