This is one of the most attractive and well constructed mirrors we could find. We purchased the "hard wired" version. Our local electric code requires that the 120V connections be made INSIDE a junction box. We installed a standard "old work" plastic box and ran the wiring through it. The issue is... the round cover plate (and subsequently the stainless dress plate) are just slightly smaller than the blue plastic junction box installed. I'm going to paint the portions of the box that can be seen but it's a shame the stainless steel cover plate isn't about 1/2" larger in diameter.
