Am I missing something about the price of this mirror?

[likelysuspect]

How can a basic, not very large dressing table mirror cost this much?

Not worth it for John Lewis furniture it’s really gone down in quality.

The one you linked to is much nicer, I wouldn't pay that for the one in the OP!

Unfortunately, I don't have a dresser to put it on or I would be tempted...

Still solid wood it will bonfire beautifully

more realistic for £40

Why's this so expensive
Do tell all.

Because when you look in that mirror you will see the most beautiful woman in the world with mug stamped on her forehead.

People need to stop with the chinese hate, there are beautiful and ornate wooden furniture made in China, which is completely opposite to this tat made in the UK

Omg what a plain boring mirror. Who the fuck would pay £299 for that 🤣 must have more money than sense if they do.

Probably a decimal point, as the bedside table in the same range is £100 less.

I think it must be a mistake as the actual dressing table is less

I think the whole thing is priced to compete against fitted bedroom furniture like Sharps where you'd pay £4-6,000 for a wardrobe, chest of drawers etc.

So here you could get a fully matching wardrobe, dressing table with a mirror, beside tables and a chest of drawers all matching here for under £2,000 and it looks like the fitted stuff.

The mirror is pretty expensive as an individual piece but the point is it matches the other stuff and it would elevate the whole thing so is I could see why some people could make the case to themselves.

Clever marketing. YOu see it in kitchens all the time too.

I think this is the best riposte I've seen on Mumsnet. Brava!

It's probably quite sturdily made and the price may be affected by it having been made by people in the UK who are paid at least minimum wage rather than one dollar an hour in an Asian sweatshop.

But yes, the absolute horror of paying people decent money and them having employment rights. But you could start a campaign to demand that such things are abolished in the UK? I mean, not for you obviously! That would be appalling.

You need took at the other items in the range. Nothing else is expensive.
