Listen to this guide
A cheap mirror is only cheap once it is in your home. The number that matters is the item price plus the freight to your address, and freight depends on the size and weight of the carton as well as the destination. So: measure the space, shortlist two mirrors that fit, then compare what each costs delivered to your postcode. Three worked examples follow.
Why some mirrors cost more than others has its own page: cheap versus expensive mirrors. This one fits a mirror to a space and a budget.
Four checks before you pay
- Measure the space, not the room. For a wall, measure the clear width between furniture, switches and window frames. For a mirror on a stand, allow about 33 cm of floor depth (Svelte X and Titan, stand out).
- Shortlist two sizes that fit. One at the top of what the space takes, one a step smaller, which often saves twice: item price and carton.
- Price each one delivered. Enter your postcode in the delivery checker on each product page. Mirrors travel with Mainfreight at a rate calculated live for your address. Write down item price plus that rate for both, and compare those figures, never item prices alone.
- Check what is in the box. A wall mirror needs fixings rated for its weight; our plasterboard hanging guide lists them.
The shortlist
| Mirror | Size and weight | Where it goes | Item price | Delivery check |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Elodie over door | 120 × 40 cm, 5 kg | Over a standard interior door, on the hooks in the box | $35 | Check your postcode |
| Svelte X arched | 160 × 60 cm, 13 kg | Leaning, on its included stand, or on the wall | $89 | Check your postcode |
| Titan arched | 180 × 80 cm, 19 kg | Leaning, on its included stand, or on the wall | $179 | Check your postcode |
| Solene X | 170 × 70 cm, 16 kg | Leaning, or on the wall upright or sideways | $175 | Check your postcode |
| Le Vue window | 120 × 100 cm, 11 kg | On the wall only | $299 | Check your postcode |

Scenario one: limited wall space
A small bedroom, a wardrobe wall taken by sliding doors, or a rental where you would rather not drill. If there is no clear stretch of wall 40 cm wide, use the door. The Elodie lifts over a standard interior door onto the hooks in the box, gives a 120 cm head to toe view and weighs 5 kg. It ships in the smallest carton here, 125 × 45 × 5 cm, which helps the freight line. Delivered cost: $35 plus the Mainfreight rate to your postcode. More options: no drill mounting for renters.
Scenario two: a full length mirror for getting dressed
To see yourself head to toe, a mirror needs to be at least half your height, top edge a little above your eye line. A 160 cm mirror covers most people; 180 cm suits anyone tall or a mirror shared by two.
Shortlist the Svelte X (160 × 60 cm, 13 kg, $89) and the Titan (180 × 80 cm, 19 kg, $179). Both include a stand and can go on a wall later. Now price them delivered. The Titan travels in a 186 × 86 × 6 cm carton at 23 kg, the Svelte X in 166 × 66 × 6 cm at 17 kg, so the gap at your door can be wider than the $90 gap in item price. Check your postcode on both pages and compare the two figures.
Scenario three: a larger wall above furniture
Above a sofa, sideboard or console, aim for a mirror about two thirds the width of the furniture, bottom edge 15 to 25 cm above it.
Le Vue (120 × 100 cm, 11 kg, $299) is made for wall mounting, and its 100 cm width suits a console of around 1.5 m. Solene X (170 × 70 cm, 16 kg, $175) can be mounted sideways, giving 170 cm of width for $124 less in item price, which suits a long sideboard or a sofa of about 2.5 m. Either way, budget for two fixings rated comfortably above the mirror's weight. Delivered cost is item price plus the live rate, plus any fixings you need.

Frequently asked questions
How do I work out the delivered cost of a mirror?
Take the item price on the product page and add the Mainfreight rate the delivery checker shows for your postcode. Collecting from our Albany showroom removes the freight.
Is a smaller mirror cheaper to deliver?
Often, because the rate reflects carton size and weight. Your address still matters, so check both shortlisted mirrors against your postcode.
Do I need to buy anything else?
Svelte X and Titan include a stand, and Elodie includes its door hooks. A wall mirror needs fixings rated for its weight.
