Greer Modern Full Length Dressing Mirror

The VoriHaus Greer Modern Full Length Dressing Mirror is 67 inches tall and 27.6 inches wide, which is enough to see a whole outfit rather than guess at the bottom half. The frame is wood, kept slim, with the glass set flush inside it, so what you notice in a room is the tall clean rectangle rather than a border around it.

It works two ways, and that is the point. Hung flat on a wall it reads as a fitted piece and gives back the floor a standing mirror would occupy. Leaned against a wall instead, it tilts slightly and takes no fixing at all, which matters in a rented flat where drilling is not always allowed. Hardware for wall mounting comes in the box, and assembly is minimal either way.

The wood frame comes in two finishes, a deep walnut that warms a pale bedroom and a black that holds its line against almost anything. Timber gives the piece a warmth and a heft that a metal or plastic surround does not. VoriHaus recommends placing it where a door or a passing chair cannot swing into the glass, fixing it into a stud or using wall anchors rated for the weight if you hang it, and securing the top to the wall with a strap if you lean it, particularly where children or pets are in the household. Clean with a soft cloth and a little glass cleaner sprayed onto the cloth rather than the mirror.
