I needed a long mirror less than 12" wide and that's not easy to find. This was perfect for the spot I had, and the "carved" frame styling was a huge plus over a simple plastic-edging. I put this mirror in an extra room I made into a guest suite for when my daughters visit. They thought it was awesome. I also noticed the glass is beveled around the edge and although that "bends" the image a little, it's a classy feature. So of the 4-5/8" glass width, the actual "flat" mirror surface is only 3-3/8" wide but it works ok. The price was great too - so glad to find this for under a $100 which is what similar products cost.
