Furniture Plus Online ~ French Oak Mirror Review

I was delighted when I was contacted by Furniture Plus and asked if I was interested in reviewing something from their range, especially when they offered to send me a mirror.

When our eldest went to University last month we had a big reshuffle of bedrooms. Previously I had a preeners bedroom between me and the bathroom, and just inside the door was a huge mirror. They've moved downstairs now and selfishly taken their mirror with them, so I've had to peer at myself in a tiny round bathroom mirror.


I chose the gorgeous Breton French Oak Dressing Table Mirror to match our bedroom furniture and it arrived only a couple of days later, very safely packed. Box and wrapped. 

 

I was instantly really pleased with it. It's very heavy, so it's really sturdy, and it's really well made. Everything is screwed as well as glued, and the wood is very cleanly cut and the joints flush.



It has a nice hinge with a limited tilt, so it won't knock over everything on my dresser by accident
No sooner had I unwrapped it and was ready to take it upstairs when my son spotted it....


Children do love mirrors.... I think we'd get good value out of it as a toy, but after 20 minutes of laughing, trying to hide and pulling faces at himself I took it away and it's now in my room!

Furniture Plus are a  family-run business in the Wirral with over 40 years experience. They sell solid Oak and Pine furniture and pride themselves on Customer Service and Satisfaction. I believe this to be true because the gentleman I dealt with couldn't have been more lovely and helpful, and kept me very well-informed about when my mirror was due to arrive, and should have arrived.

My mirror has an RRP of £159 and is currently on offer at only £59. I'm really pleased with it and I'd definitely buy at that price - even on a whim, which is unusual for me! It's proper furniture, not 'flat pack' and it'll last forever. My son will still be looking at himself in this mirror when he's a man.

  2. 6yo broke our mirror last year (thankfully no bad luck has arrived our way, or not too bad anyway). I still haven't replaced it in our bedroom

    1. We've had no end of mirrors broken by the children - I like to make the assumption they have to take responsibility and therefore bear the bad luck on themselves :p
