Can I attach a wall mirror to a dresser?
I know that a dresser mirror can be attached to a wall. But can the opposite be done? Meaning, can a mirror intended to be hung on a wall be attached to a dresser?

I’m sure there is a way, it just depends on what it is made of. You might have to reinforce the back with extra wood to make it stable
You can attach a mirror to a dresser but you will need special brackets to hold it in place. Here's a bit of information to help you.

Yes, most of them are made that way. But if the mirror isn’t square or rectangular it will look odd. I would go to a furniture store and inspect the backs for best way once you find one similar to yours. You can affix large flat boards to the dresser then attach the mirror, easiest way I can think of.
Hi Shanel,
Usually if a mirror is meant to be attached to a dresser, there will be brackets meant for attachment. Check the back of your dresser to see if it can handle the weight of a mirror then head to a hardware store in your area to see if they can help you find the proper brackets. Remember, that a mirror is heavy so you must have brackets that will keep it from tipping the entire dresser. Wishing you the best.
Shanel....Just make sure you use brackets that will secure it well but I think it will be fine.
If your mirror has a substantial wooden frame then it might be possible. Usually vertical sides of the frame has to match up with vertical wood pieces built into the back of the dresser.
Cut some wooden braces that extend past the length of the mirror. Use gorilla glue to attach them when dry screw them onto the back of dresser. Most home stores will cut your wood for you. The also have everything else needed.
Hello Shanel,
Yes it can but you will need to buy 2 pair of Dressing table mirror fixing clips for the job. Try onlne!
