I have a small built in desk area that I want to use as a vanity table. It is right in front of a window so there is no way that I can mount a wall mirror. This mirror is a good size. It's big enough to see my whole head yet small enough that I still have room for my makeup and brushes, etc. and it doesn't block out the light from the window. At night the LED lights give me enough light to do my makeup. It is a perfect solution for a decent price.
