12" Convex Mirror Outdoor & Indoor — Acrylic Safety Traffic Mirror for Wall with Adjustable Swivel; 130° Concave Reflector for Blindspots; Curved Driveway & Parking Reflector for Garage

Good product easy to install

Was too big for what I needed it for will be sending back...

I thought it would be a metal rim not plastic. Otherwise, it did the job.

Small, works for small area

This mirror primarily consists of a convex plastic mirror, a black plastic housing, and a metal arm. All three of these components are of respectable quality. The mirror is held to the black housing by an internal cylindrical shape made of firm, black, foam rubber. This rubbery cylinder has adhesive on both ends. One end glues to the housing, and the other end glues to the center back of the mirror. A few hours after I installed the mirror assembly, the mirror had fallen to the concrete below. The adhesive had given way from the black plastic shade. I stuck it back together, thinking that perhaps it had simply been clumsily assembled. Nope, within minutes it had fallen again. I disassembled the housing until I could insert screws through the back of the housing into the rubbery cylinder. That held for a few days, but then the mirror was again on the concrete. This time the adhesive had failed at the other end. I drilled a hole in the center of the mirror and screwed it to the black cylinder and housing.I now have a functioning mirror, although it is scratched up from its many falls and has the head of a screw visible in the center of the mirror. It was not excessively hot or windy in the location of the mirror, nor is the building to which it is mounted subject to vibration. I can only conclude that the adhesive is at fault.Update: The company responded to this 2-star review by sending me a whole new mirror, and from this one I can see where the failure happened. The convex mirror is supposed to snap into a channel around the edge of its housing. The adhesive is not intended to support the weight of the mirror, and so it is not surprising that it failed. The problem was that on my first mirror, the mirror had not been snapped into place. This is an error of assembly, not material quality. I imagine that such build quality issues are rare. I just got lucky. I can happily increase my rating from 2 stars to 5, and I can recommend this company and their mirror to anyone.

For those short on time:The mirror exceeds the expectation for an item at that price. It's definitely good for home use. It probably covers most of light commercial use applications too. I will buy more of these for our home.That being said, if you expect hail, heavy storm, big rigs, or fork lifts taking a swipe at this item on a regular basis, you may want to shop for a mirror with a metal housing. No need for you to read the remainder of this paragraph.But if used for what plastic molded mirror mounts can reasonably stand up to, I think this product is as good as it gets.Here are my reasons:1. Good packaging: It came properly packaged in a solid cardboard box inside the (additional) Amazon Box. (no picture, tossed before I decided to write a review.) The mirror surface itself is protected by a foil.2. Not skimpy on addons: It comes with a set of four nice wall anchors.3. Good concept: The mirror is plastic, which makes it light. The mount is properly coated, heavy steel. Obviously, someone must have put some thought into this.4. Good design and finish of the plastic parts: I am by no means an expert in transfer molding. But I have seen how it's done and listened to experts in Far East and here in North America. So, without taking the mirror apart I looked at how the screws are seated. And I must say, I have a very good impression of the design and manufacturing quality. Another detail is the swivel joint. It moves very smoothly, very little friction. Someone must know the plastic shrinkage very well to come up with a design like this. Well done.Some users may find it to easy to move by accident. I suggest using a dab of hot glue to hold it in place, if really needed.Hope to you find this review helpful.

this mirror is perfect for seeing in blind spot

The good: I purchased this to help view the blind spots on my porch for when packages like Amazon arrive. For that, it works great. Don't want to leave them on the porch longer than necessary. Positioning the unit is easy, but it takes a little finagling. Simple with 2 people, but I didn't have 2 people. I used a box as a guide and positioned it with that.The quality is good. The value for the money is good. I have no idea how scratch resistant it is, and have no plans on finding out. Someone would have to purposely attack it to scratch it. It does come with the mirror covered in a sticky plastic cover. Which I appreciate.The bad: the reason I gave this 3 stars instead of 4 or 5 stars is because of the time it took me to research the installation instructions. There are NO installation instructions. I asked where the instructions were and was told they are on the box. The box is a plain brown box with very little writing on it, and zero instructions. No problem, I'll go to You Tube and watch a DIY video. Wouldn't you know it, out of the millions of videos on You Tube, this video is not there. The hardware shipped with the unit made no sense. There are dowels and reverse set screws. I ended up just using 4- 3 inch screws. The heaviest part of this unit is the support arm. I believe the seller wants you to think this is a suitable mirror for industrial use. And in some cases, it may be. But it is only a foot across, and doesn't project that much of a image. Again, think of a porch. I would never use it for backing into my garage. The bottom line is, as lightweight as this unit is, and if you're attaching it to a 4x4 post, screws are plenty of support. Screws work just fine.I hope this helps at least 1 person.
