The gun metal color of this mirror is a nice option over traditional color offerings. The 10x magnification is exactly what my eyes need (I wear reading glasses). I tried a mirror with 5x but it really wasn’t enough. The arm is a rather stiff, but I’m wondering if that will loosen up over time. The only unusual aspect is that the light color/temperature is changed by rocking the on/off switch. Many other models incorporate a change by touching the mirror. So to get the proper lighting, I have to flip the switch a couple times each use. Overall, I’m really pleased with this product.
