When the mirror is down, it creates a mirrored backing for the bottom shelf. Or, it can be taken off completely.

This two-tier stand offers four drawers for storage: one drawer on the top right side, and three drawers at the bottom. The right drawer has a removable crescent tin receptacle. Details such as shield design brass escutcheons, ebonized caryatids, and lion claw feet harbor back to monumental Greco-Roman ancient art that inspired this spectacular period.

This piece will add style and sophistication to a bedroom when used as a toiletry or makeup stand. It will surely create a spotlight for pictures, flowers, and other decorative items if used as a display cabinet.

When the mirror is in a complete downward self-storage position, it is 46 inches in height. When the mirror is fully in an upright position on the stand, it is 61.75 inches in height. Width= 20 in. Depth= 16.5 in. less
