Honestly, the only reasons we didn't return these is because the hassle of repackaging and it was "close enough" to what we wanted to achieve. The black edges are shiny plastic. It is packaged REALLY well, it shouldn't arrive broken. But un-packaging caused a lot of the thin metal braces on the back frame to snap and break. Hopefully this doesn't alter the performance of the mirror much. Also, please stop putting stickers directly on the mirror.
