Hi Arthur,
Thank you for your feedback and for your purchase. We're glad to hear your mirror arrived safely and in good condition.
Regarding pricing, while there are visually similar stainless steel mirrors available online, not all stainless steel products are manufactured to the same standards. The mirror you purchased is hand-forged using substantially thicker stainless steel and a significantly higher-grade finish than the lower-cost alternatives commonly found online.
These differences are often difficult to identify from photographs alone, but they have a major impact on durability, structural integrity, and long-term appearance. Our stainless steel mirrors are designed to maintain their beauty and performance for decades and, with proper care, can last well over 100 years.
By contrast, many lower-cost products are manufactured using thinner materials and lower-quality finishing processes, which can lead to discoloration, fading, corrosion, peeling, or other forms of deterioration within just a few years. In fact, we regularly hear from customers who initially purchased less expensive alternatives elsewhere and after experiencing premature wear and quality issues, end up replacing their "cheaper" mirrors with our stainless steel mirrors.
We understand that price is an important factor in any purchasing decision, and we encourage customers to carefully compare materials, craftsmanship, construction methods, and long-term value, not just appearance.
We appreciate your business and thank you for taking the time to share your experience.
