The mirror itself is great and offers lots of additional storage.  If you mount it directly on the wall without recessing it there is a mirrored piece to cover the side bit which gives it a nice tidy finished look, but if you recess it like we did, they don't give you anything to cover the exposed inch where the hinge is.  Although it's a small detail, it bugs me every time I walk into the bathroom because it's the first thing I see and to me it's ruined the classy look of the mirror for me and made it look unfinished and untidy.  I'll probably eventually stop noticing it but because of this I would give this mirror 5 stars if you're mounting it on the wall and three stars if you're recessing it.
