Although it is pretty, it is really difficult to install and probably not the sturdiest mirror, but hey it does look really nice (I'm sure it's safe). People with children should probably be careful. It's not like it's dangerous but because its only support is from the to holders people just need to not be rough with it since it is in mid-air. However, if you really like this type, then go for it. It'll just more time to install, but will always be there once you have. After trying to follow the manufacture's instruction for installation and failing, we decided to drill one side first and then measure off it to drill the other side. You'll need also more than one person to install it.
