Amazon Basics Rectangular Wall Mount Mirror 24" x 36", Standard Trim, Black

So I wanted to make a mirrored cabinet for my workshop that stood over the laundry sink/tub in there. I didn't need anything fancy, and wanted it roughly a foot deep to hold first aid supplies and maybe a number of hygiene items. Also, you might see, I wanted a dry rack built into the bottom over the sink. This is where I eat my lunch at the workshop and I hand wash my dishes there.They don't make mirrored vanity cabinets cheap it seems, and also they don't make them any deeper than 4.5 inches. There was no way what I wanted even partially existed for any reasonable price. So, I had to grab my scrap plywood and spend half a day making my own.Of course I selected the mirror (best dimensions to what I wanted at the cheapest price/decent quality I could find) and didn't make the cabinet until after it arrived.It arrived as I hoped and met the standards for what this was meant for: hanging up on little hooks on the wall like a picture. Something like this would make sense in your entryway or mud room, so you check your hair or something before heading out, appearance wise after it's hung the standard version in walnut looks fairly classy and would work with most interior designs, I'm sure the other colors would work as well. The frame this plasticy/particle board wood stuff and the surface you normally see is smooth and impermeable to water from that side. You can lean in and look real close and it looks like very well polished wood, but when you feel it you can tell there's plastic or polymer in the frame. Not bad for the price actually.The problem was the hook mounting hardware that was in my way... And what's this? Brown craft paper glued on the back? Not a problem if this going up in your office or a guest bedroom I guess, but this was going over a drainage tub that I filled with gallons of hot water every few days. I didn't want steam to condense in there over time and have microbial growth as a result.Using this mirror in a bathroom, or near a stove (not sure why you want to check your reflection while stirring a boiling pot of macaroni though...) this might be a pad choice. This mirror isn't marked as a bathroom mirror, so I'm not going to hold it against them at all.This was a excellent opportunity to take it apart like a child with mild ADHD who found dad's toolkit and has been left unsupervised for over 20 minutes. Not much has changed in the last 15 years in that aspect of me being a legal adult...This was also a excellent opportunity to evaluate the quality of the mirror behind it's appearance.The screws for the hanging hardware on the backside were tiny and I had to use the small screwdrivers to get them out. I'm glad they didn't use exotic screws with triangles or star shaped bits. It was standard Philips head, just the small size. The screws were a pain to get out, they were quite stiff and each one took a lot of torque to remove by hand. While annoying for me, I can say that these hooks are going to stay on and not fall off under normal circumstances for you. So this is a win for quality actually despite the fact my fingertips were notably red and sore from gripping the screwdriver so tightly.Using the most dangerous tool in my workshop: the utility knife, and a pair of needle nose pliers, I cut and ripped the paper away in a corner to find corrugated cardboard filler glued underneath it. It was actually glued on pretty well at the edges to the frame. After ripping out a tiny piece I discovered it was about 3/4 of a inch of stiff cheap cardboard and then the black glossy backside of the mirror. I cut a large square out along the inside of the frame and was able to easily remove the cardboard filler which was lightly glue to the back of the mirror with a few squiggly streaks of hot glue.I assume the purpose of the cardboard filler on the back, other than being a cheap material that's easy to work with, is to act as padding on the back side to prevent the mirror from break if hit from that side, which would only be useful during transport I guess.The brown paper overlay that was glued to the frame was very hard to peel off. Given that it was only a inch wide going around the perimeter at this point I didn't think that I needed to remove anymore at this point. I did peel off the corners to see how they jointed the frames and found a metal zigzaggy bracket holding it together. I'm no sure how it actually worked or how it may have been installed, but it looked fairly sturdy considering that this was the cheapest mirror that met the dimensions I wanted.I used some gorilla glue and almost half a dozen pneumatically driven 18 gauge 5/8 inch staples to mouth it to thin ¼ inch scrap plywood for my hinged door. I chose shorter staples to not go too deep and hit the mirror by accident. The sudden “FWAP!” of staples at 120 PSI hitting the plywood and into the back of the mirror frame did not crack it. (Whew!) So it's also durable in that regard.The mirror is decent. I give it a 4/5. I say that I feel at $40 this is a little too much money for what it is, but then again I couldn't find cheaper for something around 16 inches by 20 inches. This is a $35 or $30 mirror if you ask me, but that's perhaps a bit nit-picky. By the way, the dimensions of the glass mirror itself is 17 inches by 13 inches, the frame is 20 inches by 16 inches. The frame is 1-1/2 inches wide around the edges, and it's 1 inch deep if you take off the hanging hardware on the backside.

We are in the process of remodeling our master bathroom. I found this mirror and read the reviews so I decided to give it a try. The price point is excellent and these look like should cost more once they're up. The only draw back has to do with installation. Which is fine if you know how to work around it. The hanging hardware on the back is not even so you'll need to pay attention to this closely if you want to hang this mirror evenly. Overall, I think this was a great buy!

The mirror was perfect for what we needed. The size was just right for our bathroom. It was a little hard to line up the screws when hanging it. It matches our white wood outlets perfectly.

Easy to hang as a vanity mirror. Take off the hardware that you're not using (take off vertical hangers if you use the horizontal ones and vice versa) so it lays flat against the wall. Arrived nicely packaged and damage free

I bought two of these for my home gym. As a modernist, I love the simple lines. The price was right and quality seems good. I gave a ding on my review on installation stars simply the hangers are a cheap shortcut to production that are a challenge to properly align on any framed work. I took them off, replaced with strung wire, and viola!They are up and my gym is sleek and modern.

The frame is plastic, but for the price it’s great. Also because it’s plastic, it is easy to clean hairspray etc. off of it. It’s a nice clean look and a good addition to the bathroom.

This mirror came well-packaged and in perfect condition. There are no nuisance labels you have to remove from the surface, as with many mirrors and frames. Just slide the mirror out and put it where you want it. It's exactly as pictured, with a clean, simple, beautiful design.

Very simple, light weight and elegant mirror.

Love the fact it gives off a reflection , hate the ugly whalloper looking back at me. Smacked his wab in now it's smashed. Mirror mirror on the wall who owns this hairy ball?

This came well packaged and on time. As I ordered it from a basic mirror I expected a thin light one. I was so shocked. It was a good solid mirror with a good weight on it. It’s lovely and I would def recommend this. Mine is in the bathroom, it would make a great addition to you hair and make up as it’s a good size.

Doing a makeover of a bathroom and wanted a bathroom mirror that complemented the changes and made an impression on users, and this mirror does just that. Only downside was hanging it as there was no fixing template to help, so be sure to take your measurements very accurately as there's no leeway for error.

A great quality mirror which happily was beautifully packaged and arrived in one piece. It is hung on two fixings at the top corners - get the two screws Set accurately in the right place and no problems. Mirror looks good - I love it and it loves me!

Arrived completely smashed. Can’t even see how to get a refund without having to try to lug this massive box to a post office, when it just needs to go in a bin!
