I purchased this mirror to finish off my daughter's "dream vanity" built from IKEA drawers and table top. We put the whole thing together last night and added the mirror as the pièce de résistance.

This mirror was well-packaged and arrived quickly and undamaged. The mirror itself is uniform and without blemish. The metal frame is well-painted and the light sockets are perfectly spaced and oriented. The wooden base is solid and stable permitting the mirror to stand freely on the vanity top without stability concerns. The switch and the outlet are solid and tight (nothing worse than an outlet with loose sockets). The brightness range on the dimmer is broad - if anything, it's too bright on the high end though my daughter insisted that it was perfect this morning for applying her highlights.

While we opted for the table top, the back does have cut-out slots to permit hanging from a wall (screws and drywall anchors included). I plan to use these to tether it to the wall so that it can't come crashing forward in an earthquake or Korean missile attack.

The piece arrived with all the necessary hardware as well as two spare bulbs (a very nice touch, giving more than is expected).

Assembly was pretty simple. It did take me a moment to realize how to affix the rear braces to the base (the two heavy bolts thread into the internally threaded inserts on the short leg of the braces) but other than that, assembly was quick and easy.

The result? A visually pleasing backdrop that looks as if it were designed specifically for the IKEA base upon which it's placed (ours turned out to be the same as the picture from the post prior to this one)... and one absolutely delighted young lady.

If you're a dad looking to score some points with your teenage daughter, this will not disappoint either of you.

Not cheap, for sure, but well worth it on initial review. We researched our options both online and brick-and-mortar and this was clearly the best solution when balancing product and price.

Words can't even describe the happiness this mirror brings me. Is it pricey? yeah. Is it the cheapest option on the market? Yes. All you ladies second guessing this purchase- DO IT.

Also it literally took 5 minutes to put together, and came with extra bulbs

Completely obsessed with this mirror. Very easy to put together and great quality. Love the dimmer and how this mirror comes with an outlet. If you have been wanting a vanity mirror with lights, you will not be disappointed.

I have the happiest wife in the world!! Super bright and very huge!! She feels like she is at the makeup counter at Macy's!!

The product came missing bulbs but after sending an email the issue was resolved. The product is very very nice. Works well and is made well.
