I have seen some beautiful free standing full length mirrors in people's homes.

Am I being unreasonable in thinking that they are not safe to be just propped up in the corner or a room ?

I can't see how they would spontaneously jump up and flip over.

Safe in what respect? If they are not positioned where you are likely to walk into them and you don't have small children or animals that run about, then they are probably no less safe than (e.g.) a small item of furniture.

Agree! They should be attached to the wall in some way to be safe.

I agree with you. There was an influencer whose toddler died after pulling over a freestanding mirror.

Properly installed, they have an anti-tilt strap on the rear.

I have them, perfectly safe but I don't have small children or dogs, would rethink if I did
