    You can get the hardware you need to install on the back of the mirror at the hardware store. Ask one of the employees to help you choose something that is made specifically to hold the weight of the mirror. Good luck!

    I think the mirror will look great hanging on the wall! Like the others said, just be certain that you either hit a stud or use toggle bolts. Otherwise, it'll look terrific.

    You are most welcome. Be sure and take some pictures so I can see what you've done!

  • Yes, you just need to add the proper hardware to the back of the mirror. We like using French cleats. They work well and are super supportive.

  • Hanging a dresser mirror on the wall of your bedroom is definitely possible, but you must make sure that it is mounted firmly. In order to choose the best hanging technique and make sure your wall can accommodate the mirror, first weigh the mirror. For extra stability, it is important to locate wall studs if the item is hefty. Be mindful of the mirror's design and the surface of the wall while choosing the right hanging hardware, such as mounting brackets, picture wire, or D-rings. Making sure the wall is level, measure and mark the desired location. The mirror frame's back should have the selected hardware firmly installed. When the mirror is ready, carefully attach it to the wall, making sure it is stable and aligned. Your dresser mirror will improve the aesthetics and use of your bedroom when installed properly.
