I bought this mirror for my outdoor workspace in my garden. I am very impressed with the quality. Light with a metal rim (I'm hoping this won't be damaged). The the information said mirror was manufactured glass I was worried it would produce those strange distorted effects, but there are none. brilliant. not sure how it will last over the long term outdoors with rusting, but not designed for that so that is at my own risk. Cheaper than buying an outdoor one as very expensive only to be outdoors.
