Fantastic value for the money. Well built, great quality mirror. Took me only 10 minutes to assemble. Color looks perfect in her Victorian bedroom. Highly recommended!This was packaged very nicely. Easy to assemble, I had a little issue with the screws, it was a little hard and awkward putting the screws in, you have to hold the piece at the right angle And put some muscle into it. Love the mirror.This kind of tilting mirror is essential when learning the violin, so one may see their left hand and their bow and entire body at the same time. The further you are from the mirror the more vertical the mirror needs to get, which is why these tilting mirrors are the best, you always fit in the frame. If you're close in, then tilt the mirror to frame you better. These were the thing way back in the day, I"m glad they're still being made, and in modern style, too!As for the mirror, the bolts that secure the legs to the uprights took a bit of friendly persuasion to get them all the way into the legs. All the wood is straight, fairly well finished. It's a very satin finish, just a hint of gloss. It's a bit rough, folks, won't lie. They could've done with a bit more sanding. Comparable to Ikea solid wood furniture but a little rougher. The glass is straight and ripple-free, with no distortions. The back is screwed in from the factory with screws every 3 inches or so all around the frame. Sharp edges with no dings. One star deducted for it feeling like it needs another pass with sandpaper before they applied the finish and for the sticky leg bolts that needed friendly persuasion.One thing - when moving these, don't "walk" them. Pick up the whole mirror by the uprights, move it, then put it down. "Walking" a cheval mirror is the quickest way to break it.The wood strip at the bottom was missing. Therefore the mirror is unsteady. I do not recommend buying the mirror.Great quality . Arrived in perfect conditionI'm in the process of remodeling my home, and I must say that I absolutely love this mirror. Before mounting it onto the stand I highly recommend that you secure the back of the mirror because the board holding it in place is fairly flimsy. Overall I loved it as I knew I would so I bought 2. Their customer service is exceptional as well. I received a broken mirror and they immediately resolved that issue.I looked at a lot of mirrors that cost anywhere from $50 up to $500. There were mirrors at other online retailers that I considered that cost around $250. I found this one, which matches my decor, and does the job perfectly. It looks good, and it's sturdy. I'm very happy with this purchase. Excellent value.When the mirror arrived, I was pretty anxious that it was going to be broken. I opened it and it was all intact! The only issue was with one of the sides of the mirror, there is a part where you screw a component in and it was splintered halfway out. Luckily, I was able to take a soft mallet and hammer it back in. For the price, it's great! The size is good, but for taller people the only feature that would best suit you is its adjustability in tilting it.
