This is a great mirror, big enough to see my wrinkles lol but not so big as to take over my new dressing table. I had bought a smaller one which didn’t have the facility to change the tone of the lights, I like the warmer shade personally but it has 3 tones ranging from cold to warm. Arrived well packaged and undamaged. Yes the cable does hang down the back and it is black so would show through the bottom of the mirror but honestly that’s about the only fault I have for it and it isn’t a fault for me. Just hope the bulbs etc last, only time will tell. Recommend!
