      has anyone else had issues with full length mirrors? mine ended up breaking because it was pretty weak and low quality. the frame felt flimsy and it did not stay steady when leaning against the wall. now i am wondering if it is worth trying to repair or if i should just buy a new one. if so which type or brand of full length mirror do you recommend? any suggestions would be appreciated.

        @andrenajolly - most interesting is: what length is “full length” ?
        From this it depends for sure how to build the frame and how to choose right glass (kind of glass, thickness) …

        Kind regards,
        Ralf

          thanks for pointing that out. By full length I mean around 5 to 6 feet tall so you can see your whole body. I guess you are right that the size makes a big difference in how strong the frame and glass need to be.

            @andrenajolly :-)
            Yes for sure. For a „whole body mirror“ of this length you need a strong frame and a mirror with at least 6mm of glass.
            Here in Germany we do have some shops which are offering these kind of glass in any size but this an expensive fun …

            Good luck!

            Ralf

              @rkorell Which shop did you use for your glases? I’ve ordered mine at glasstar.de, but yes - not cheap!
