Using the Dominique Mirror is a breeze. You can place it on a dresser by attaching it with the included bracket kit. If you prefer, just stand it up as a standalone piece in your bedroom or hallway. When cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the glass gently. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they might scratch the glass or damage the Merlot - finished wood frame. Keep it away from direct sunlight for long periods to prevent the color of the frame from fading. Also, make sure to place it on a stable surface to avoid it falling and breaking. With proper care, this mirror will serve you well for a long time.
