The mirror came in a cardboard box with internal polystyrene packaging, well secured against breakage, very fast with me on. The 10x magnification allows me back my eyelashes themselves to dyeing what with bifocals was practically impossible and was too expensive at the hairdresser. He is greater than commercially usual make-up mirror, what I really like. Very handy, I find the high foot. The "jacking up" on books or similar means, as it was in my "old" is no longer necessary. Due to its own weight it is stable, easy to turn and keeps the set angle, so you really have both hands free and not have to hold with one hand the mirror. Who is afraid of seeing his wrinkles - remember, they are magnified 10 times. Price / performance ratio is very good, so I just buy it.
