A slim vanity mirror from Yamazaki's Tower line: a 6-inch round mirror on a powder-coated steel stem, with a shallow tray at the base for the rings, earrings and watch you take off while you get ready. The mirror flips: a true 1x on one side, 3x magnification on the other for makeup and close work. Assembles in a minute (base, felt mat, stem, mirror) and sits as easily on a dresser or a bathroom counter as on a desk.
Keep it out of direct sun; the magnifying side is concave and can focus light.
