We bought this for our family room above the console (we have a console on either side of fireplace). Originally going to place above console closest to TV but when hung, the TV reflected in the mirror like a second TV! Terrible. There was an easy fix: we placed the mirror on other side of fireplace and our wall clock beside the TV. Mirror now looks fabulous. We were lucky because of the 2 matching consoles the switch was a breeze but be warned if you purchase to hang near a TV the reflection might be a problem. The mirror is a nice addition to our room!
