First, I was so excited to receive this mirror.  I really wanted to love it but unfortunately it did not meet my expectation for quality.  The light output was not adequate for what I would expect from a makeup vanity and the "magnified" mirror was very small maybe the size of a compact powder and it came detached from it's casing so the mirror kept falling out.  The grips at the bottom of the base also came damaged.  The overall size of the mirror was smaller than I expected, in hindsight, I should have measured the space prior to purchasing. Lastly, the "on and off" buttons on the bottom of the mirror would respond SOMETIMES, I found this to be the most annoying part of this lighted mirror therefore, I had to return it.
