To use this mirror, first assemble it by connecting the wood supports to the mirror using the included hardware kit. If you have a separately - sold dresser, you can use the wooden supports to attach the mirror to it. When cleaning, simply wipe it with a dry and soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they can damage the distressed finish. Keep it away from direct sunlight for long periods to prevent color fading. Also, be careful when moving it as it weighs 67.24 and might be a bit heavy.
