I had it installed &amp; in the LA earthquake, one broke! Mirror fell on carpeting luckily(Yes it was in stud!) Has anyone else had this happen?

I have had mine in concrete and have not had a problem. We have many temblors and this product has worked well. BTW, I live in Costa Rica.

Our vanity is on carpet and is very well constructed for the price. Have had no problems with ours. We added a three pane lighted mirror not because it was needed. Wife just wanted a lit mirror.

If it does not unscrew the small plastic clip (grey) that allows it to reverse - is probably broke.This happened to us once. We had to arrange for a return (customer absorbs the cost of return).If you get another, do not put the dome on too tight, or that small piece is apt to crack again.Good luck. ( The older models were built so much better)

I did not see any vibration after I installation. You may want to make sure there is nothing causing the mirror not to seat properly.

Hi Annette, The one we received was broken. I haven't read the other reviews so I can't verify how common of an occurrence it is. I hope that helps. Best, Brett

Hi Christie, I also bought the mirror and after one day one of the lights stopped working and the button to turn it on and off was faulty. I actually think the mirror is made very poorly, no ghost, just a very cheaply made product. That's my option anyway. It's a shame because I have not found a makeup mirror as bright as this one again, I really wished it worked. If you know of another one with great lighting please let me know. Regards Catherine.

It has happened to me twice. Luckily I was able to dig it out. You have to be careful. I love the unit though...it is well worth it.

Sorry no. The same thing happened to me. I no longer use it. It just hangs from my rear view mirror now. :(

I'm not sure. While our mirror didn't survive the fall I never looked into a replacement because I didn't get it for the mirror.

If you lay it down carefully it won't break but may be mal-adjusted when you go to use it. I lean the other side against a wall. Mine fell over in soft dirt and it survived with nothing but a bent screw. Keep in mind that this is so inexpensive that you can really afford to get a spare. It's is hands down the best mirror I have ever used. Fragile? Yes, but works so well!! You could always get some rebar and build a cage for it if you treat your bike like junk. That would save it.

I installed this in typical drywall, not into wooden stud. Because I used self drilling drywall anchors (available at all hardware stores & most discount stores - I used heavy duty, i.e. able to hold a 50 lb load, but could have used those for 15-25 lbs just fine), all I needed was a phillips-head screwdriver. The biggest challenge was determining the height to place it at. Here's what I did: I put the mirror on the base/extension unit (just screws on - easy). Then I held the base to the wall where I thought the height of the mirror would be right....then I extended the mirror to where I would typically stand to use it when it was extended (this may take a buddy to hold the base to the wall while you stand where you need to). With the mirror extended, I adjusted the height so that that part of my face that I needed in the magnifying mirror was centered. THEN I marked the upper and lower holes of the base on the wall...moved the base, screwed the anchors into the wall and screwed the base into the anchors with screws. The only glitch is that the screws that came with the mirror were longer than I needed for the anchors I had, so I used the screws provided with the anchor package instead. IF you decide you want to use the screws and non-screw-in anchors provided with the mirror, you'll need to find the correct location/height and mark the holes, then drill a hole large enough for those anchors to fit tightly before you use the screws provided. Just remember, measure twice before you drill/screw/cut. Take your time, it's pretty easy even for a beginner. And your local hardware person can also give you some advice if I'd made it more than a little confusing. Good luck.

Mine cracked on installation. They're kind of known for that. Just contact them and they should be able to get you a refund or replacement like they did for me.

We had no problem with the mirror but we did have a problem with a section arrived broken. Since it was a Christmas gift and it was delivered a few days before Christmas, we fixed it ourselves rather than not have it for my granddaughter. It really is beautiful and other than the broken piece, appears to be sturdy. My granddaughter uses it all the time.

Apparently the "FAIL: relay weld" issue has continued into units shipped in 2015. Mine was on a shelf unit with only about 1.5 inches to lift and drop . . . but it worked! Plugged it back in and unit was back functioning as it should. Percussive maintenance at its best.

Pretty sure it would be OK. Mirror has full sides and back covering of plastic. The glass used in the mirror doesn't seem to be a brittle or fragile kind. We haven't dropped ours hard but they have had a few knocks. The support arm just bends or snaps free and you just need to push it back together again. It is well made and is not flimsy or fragile.
