### Measuring and Marking the Mirror's Position

The first step is to measure and mark the position of the mirror on the dresser. Use a measuring tape to measure the width of the mirror and mark the center point on the dresser. Then, use a level to draw a horizontal line across the dresser, ensuring that it is level.

### Attaching the Mirror

Once you have marked the position of the mirror, it's time to attach it to the dresser. Align the mirror with the marks you made and hold it in place. Use a screwdriver to drive screws through the mirror's mounting brackets and into the dresser. Be sure to tighten the screws securely, but do not overtighten them.

### Leveling the Mirror

Once the mirror is attached, use a level to check that it is level. If the mirror is not level, adjust the screws until it is. You may need to have someone help you hold the mirror in place while you adjust the screws.

### Finishing Touches

Once the mirror is level, you can add any finishing touches you desire. For example, you could add decorative trim around the mirror or paint the dresser to match the mirror. You could also add lighting to the mirror to create a more glamorous look.

### Tips for Attaching a Dresser Mirror

Use the right size screws for the job. Screws that are too small will not hold the mirror securely, while screws that are too large could damage the mirror.
Be careful not to overtighten the screws. Overtightening the screws could crack the mirror.
If you are not sure how to attach the mirror, consult a professional for help.
