This mirror is a great addition to my daughter's room.  There is no set up -- simply take it out of the box and start using it.  M daughter loves it and I am also quite happy with it.  The mirror was a good value at a great price.  My only reason for giving less than 5 stars is that this mirror is fairly lightweight and possibly could tip over fairly easily.  It seems steady leaning on its easel legs but I wonder what would happen if the mirror was bumped or jostled by accident?
