Aspire 4882 Wall Mirror, Gray

This mirror looks much better in the picture than it does in person (see pictures). From far away it looks great but once you get up close you really can notice the flaws.1- there was a glob of glue on one of the outside pipes; I was unable to peel it off with my fingernail so I will have to use a razor blade and carefully scrape it off without damaging the finish.2- shoddy craftsmanship. I understand that using real metal pipes would probably have made it super heavy, but if you’re going to use imitations the welding and seams could actually line up. 3- When checking the front and back of the mirror I noticed that the clips used to keep the mirror in place were not all bent in place, so luckily the mirror is glued in as well because it probably would have popped out of the frame when I took it out of the box if it hadn’t been. There is also 1 clip on the front of the mirror that was missed when they put the mirror in the frame. Can’t be fixed because of thr before mentioned glue.4- there were tiny shards of glass on my carpet & on further inspection I saw a couple of large shards & mirror dust shards that must have fallen out of the box/bubble wrap. The only place the mirror seems to be chipped is in one of the top corners and it’s not noticeable unless you’re really close and looking up into the frame.Overall, I thought a lot about returning this because of all the above said issues but in the end I’m really just too lazy to package it back up m, drive it to the UPS, and pay for the shipping since I failed to notice it wasn’t free returns. IMO keep looking & buy something else if you’re looking for a new mirror.

Update: It took a bit of work, plus an online chat, but I finally got the 2nd broken mirror replaced! The old saying “the 3rd time’s the charm” actually worked out this time. They haven’t been hung yet, but I really like the looks of them and would’ve rated them a 5star if they hadn’t arrived broken twice.I ordered 2 of these for a master bath double vanity. When they arrived, one of them was perfect, but the 2nd had a corner broken off the mirror. I did an online replacement and had the new mirror in a couple of days. The replacement mirror was broken worse than the 1st. I’ve tried for 2 days to do an online replacement & I keep getting the message that an exchange isn’t available. They’re either going to have to ship another unbroken mirror to me or they’ll be getting all 3 of these mirrors back. I love the mirror that’s not broken, but it’ll do me no good without a matching one. I’ll update this review when it’s settled.

Love this mirror! This sells for far more in stores, so this price is a bargain! It is rustic, so the (metal) pipes show discoloration from where the joints are welded together, but if you don’t like that, a $2 can of paint spray will resolve the issue. I totally used B. Lucas’s idea with the wooden framing and love it! I stained the wood to match the industrial inspired shelves I made 3 weeks ago and it’s perfect! (Thank you B. Lucas!!!) So easy to do though I highly recommend using the correct saw to cut your wood. If you don’t know how to angle the corners, get a sheet of paper, fold it diagonally and that gives you the template for where to mark your wood to cut. The mirror is substantial, weighing about 13lb. It’s easy to mount, and looks great without any alterations. Buy it!!!

Seemed pricy but it looked like it would be so cool! Then it showed up and??? IT WAS SO COOL!! haha I really like this mirror. It was a bit pricy but it is very heavy duty frame and high quality.Install:It didn't come with any thing to mount it so you will need some wall anchors most likely.

To be honest, I saw a mirror that was much more expensive that I liked better, so I bought this one so I could make it look like the one I wanted and it turned out fabulously! Saved me $200 bucks!1. Cut wood trim to frame the inside of mirror. (I bought the cheapest I could find)2. Stain the wood - while drying move to step 3.3. Tape up the mirror completely then spray paint the iron frame with any metallic color you like.4. When spray paint dries, remove tape and gorilla glue your cut and stained wood trim to mirror.5. Let dry and voila!

I should have looked closer. I thought this was like the other"pipe" hardware that's become popular. The pipe in this isn't the same. It's smaller, thinner and the 90° elbows are fake made from stamped steel. I'm going to get some black iron pipes cut to size and redo it with real pipe and fittings. Kinds of disappointed. For the price I expected more. Should have read closer and not taken things at first appearance.

I love the rustic look. It’s not perfect but that’s what gives it the personality. Looks like someone handmade it and that’s what I was going for.
