I received this product for free in exchange for my unbiased opinion. I used this lighted mirror both while seated and standing. In my opinion the height of the mirror made it challenging to use while standing, with the mirror placed on my bathroom countertop. However, use while in a seated position was much better. The LED light is adequate without being harsh, and I appreciate having a choice of brightness. One side of the mirror is standard, and the other is a greater magnification. I appreciate that the higher magnified side is concave, allowing me to put my face closer without bumping into it. The overall appearance of the mirror is sleek. Would recommend to someone looking to purchase a countertop mirror for use while seated.
