This comes with a French cleat to hang, which I love, but I wish the cleat had a little more margin for error. Most other cleats have a little larger gap to compensate for uneven walls and make mirrors easier to hang. This was a little tricky to hang, but I'm very satisfied with the results. You could potentially put a few washers behind the cleat to give you a little more room. Also, I went ahead and drilled holes in the cleat so I could hit two studs for more strength.I was hoping this would be bright enough that I wouldn't need a vanity light, but I think you need both. I just wired through the wall to the Vanity electrical box and both are controlled with the same switch. The mirror can be turned on and off with the switch in the center of the mirror if need be.
