How To Hang A Heavy Dresser Mirror On The Wall

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all? If you're looking to add a touch of glamour to your bedroom, a dresser mirror is a must-have. But before you can start admiring your reflection, you need to hang it up. And if it's a heavy mirror, that can be a bit of a challenge.

Don't worry, though. With the right tools and a little bit of know-how, you can hang a heavy dresser mirror on the wall in no time. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you get started:

1. Choose the right spot

The first step is to choose the right spot for your mirror. You want to make sure it's centered above your dresser and that there's enough space around it so you can see yourself clearly.

2. Mark the holes

Once you've chosen the spot for your mirror, it's time to mark the holes for the screws. Use a level to make sure the mirror is hanging straight, and then use a pencil to mark the spots where the screws will go.

3. Drill pilot holes

Before you screw in the screws, it's important to drill pilot holes. This will help prevent the wood from splitting and make it easier to get the screws in straight.

4. Screw in the screws

Now it's time to screw in the screws. Be sure to use screws that are long enough to go through the mirror and into the wall studs. And don't overtighten the screws, or you could crack the mirror.

5. Hang the mirror

Once the screws are in, you can hang the mirror. Simply lift it up and place it on the screws. Be sure to hold it level as you do this.

6. Enjoy your new mirror

Congratulations! You've now successfully hung a heavy dresser mirror on the wall. Now you can step back and admire your reflection in your new favorite piece of furniture.
