So go to IKEA and buy a cheap one. I will now treasure the one that's bigger, has holes cut for hanging and cost me £15 at the local glazier 20 years ago! |

You won't get it for half...you may be lucky and get it for a tenner a square foot, which will still make it £120 |

Earl Of Derby writes how much do peeps reckon a mirror(on its own) would cost from a glazier? 48"x36" Thanks. I have one propping up my garage wall. 4'x3' bevel edge, used to have a nice gilt frame now covered in what otherwise would have covered the garage wall. No guarantee it will improve bedroom performance but yours for a modest sum:-) regards -- Tim Lamb |

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. |
