This is a large mirror and I had planned to use it as a makeup mirror. First I wish there was a larger area for a magnification view. I thought it would sit on my bathroom counter between the two sinks.  The issue here is when I angle it to view it, I have to pull it out far from the wall and it takes up all of the counter space. It's a great mirror, especially with the multiple lighting choices and USB port. I am disappointed I am unable to use the mirror as I had intended.
