Using the Heath Mirror is easy. Just find a suitable spot in your room, like above a dresser or in the hallway, and hang it up. Make sure the wall can support its weight of 15.95 lbs. Since it's hand - crafted, it has unique shadings and color variations, which are part of its charm. Remember, this mirror contains nickel compounds that are linked to cancer, so avoid any direct contact with the frame if you're sensitive. For maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to clean the glass and frame. Don't use abrasive cleaners as they may damage the powder - coat finish on the iron frame. Keep it away from moisture to prevent rusting of the iron parts.
