To use this mirror, first assemble it according to the instructions provided. Find a suitable spot on your wall in your living space where it can catch the light and make the area look brighter. Since it doesn't come with an anti - tip kit, make sure to install it securely to avoid any accidents. For maintenance, simply wipe it with a soft, dry cloth regularly to keep the ash wood frame looking good and the mirror clear. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the grey oil finish on the frame.
