I leaned this mirror in a corner thinking there was no way my cat would manage to knock it over. Well, the very day I received my mirror, she did manage to do that very thing. I watched helplessly from across the room as the mirror fell face-forward onto a ceramic tile floor (on a concrete slab!). Not. A. Scratch. I couldn’t believe that it didn’t shatter!! I am now using the kickstand in the back (not leaning against walls), and so far she hasn’t sent it falling again. How did the mirror survive that situation?! Best mirror ever. Highly recommend.
