The mirror is indeed functional and attractive. It was simple to mount, although I did have to take it down and adjust the template to make it hang vertically, which is a pretty bad design flaw. It is compact and lightweight even with the batteries. The 5x magnification works well, as does the light. The absence of an off switch for the light is a problem, as I've already had visitors asking me about it. That and the failure of the mounting holes to line up correctly are all that keep me from giving this 5 stars. Otherwise it's a great product at a good price. 

Pros: Good light, good magnification, compact footprint
Cons: Wish it came in bright chrome
