I want to build a medicine cabinet for my master bathroom and I need some mirrors for it, but I can’t find the size I want and it looks like I will have to custom order them. I called some local glass shops and found their prices are about 40-50% higher than some of the prices I found at online glass shops, but I’m a little nervous about ordering mirrors online and was wondering if anyone here has done so and had a positive experience they care to share. |

I’m working on a jewelry box that has a removable 1/4” beveled mirror inside the lid. I did considerable checking both locally and online and found – Hooker Glass and Mirror Co. – http://www.miror.com/ (yes, the spelling is correct in the url). If for some reason the URL give you problems, simply look up Hooker Glass and Mirror Company. I really can comment on price, but I can tell you that the service was excellent and the product was flawless. They do have an on-line estimator that allows you to spec the glass and receive an instant quote. Let us know how you make out. Brice -- Brice, Philadelphia |

I’ve ordered seeded glass panes from Van Dykes and got excellent service. The panes were the exact size I ordered and packed really well. That said, I usually get my mirrors from a local glass shop, and never really thought it was that expensive. The ones I ordered with a beveled edge were a little higher…but then I’ve never really considered getting them on line. -- Our village hasn't lost it's idiot, he was elected to congress. |

I have ordered glass in the past (it broke in shipping). That added several weeks to the project. Good luck. -- Willie, Washington "If You Choose Not To Decide, You Still Have Made a Choice" - Rush |

Yeah! Don’t order anything online because it gets fake sometime. I have borne a this kind of issue. You have to go to a good store nearby you or searching on the internet for a good store nearby you is also a good option. |
