Pretty Mirror, Poor Quality. Don't Get if You Have Kids or Pets!

I loved this mirror...until a year later when it toppled over and broke out of nowhere. The wood for the base is dry and brittle, even after using wood conditioning cleaner on it 2-3 times since the time I first got it. One of the supporting legs fell off because the wood frame where the bottom screws into wasn't very good quality. After the mirror fell, I examined the bottom of the frame, and the wood was completely split, causing the leg to come off. It's a shame, because the mirror was a centerpiece in my living room. It had such a pretty cherry finish and a "vintage" appeal. I agree with another reviewer that said kids and this mirror don't mix. After the mirror fell and was flat on the ground, my 7 year old wasn't looking where he was going and stepped on it, shattering the glass to pieces. I'm very lucky my son and our rabbit (who was out of her cage and playing when it happened) didn't get hurt.
