Thanks for the offer,but its too small. What is the mirror for? In theory a mirror needs to be only half the height and width of a person, in order to see the whole of themselves in it. Do you have someone there who is 96" high and 72" wide? I can buy a framed mirror that I can see the whole of myself in, for about £20 here in NZ. I can't believe UK prices. |
