I purchased the large version of this mirror and had originally wanted it for my entrance way as a mirror to check makeup and hair before I go out. When I finally saw it, it was absolutely gorgeous, but more of a work of art or decor piece you'd like to admire from both close and afar. It is very heavy and has a definite wow factor in it's design. It was so beautiful there was no way I was returning it so I found another suitable place in my house, at the end of the upstairs hallway, to put it. Perfect!
