Using this mirror is a breeze. First, find a suitable spot on your wall. Since it's a 36-inch mirror, it needs a large, open area. After you've chosen the location, assemble the mirror following the instructions. It requires full assembly, so take your time and make sure everything is properly put together. Once assembled, hang it on the wall using appropriate hardware. As for maintenance, clean the mirror surface with a soft, dry cloth to avoid scratches. For the wooden frame, you can use a mild wood cleaner. Just remember, this mirror isn't suitable for areas with high humidity. Also, if you're moving it, handle it gently to prevent any damage to the mirror or the frame.
