<![CDATA[Question about the mirror]]>Whilst on a quest for a mirror my local glazier told me the mirrors are EXTREMELY prone to scratches… IS this true? Do any of you have experience with this? It came as rather a shock as these are ‘confrontation’ mirrors… It’s not unreasonable to expect violence against them when used as such…

And perhaps their product is indeed easily scratched. Ask around, go a different place or vendor, see what kind of response you get.

They gave me so many useless warnings when I bought mine … 😩

Averything’s done… just the mirror… :D

Thanks, i’ll take the plunge :)

Using abrasive cleaners is bad, but a clean, damp, micro fiber cloth goes a long way.

But to be honoust: My 2 year old MagicMirror doesn’t have any scratches.

Glass mirrors, while you can still scratch them, they do last a lot longer than acrylic ones. ANY mirror is prone to scratches, it’s how you treat it that depends how long it lasts.
