Why not hang the mirror to one side, and then use the open are to accommodate a great lamp or tall plant/floral arrangement in a great container. Nothing says that the mirror has to hang in the center of the wall above the dresser.

The size of the framed mirror you have found doesn't sound bad, tho. It will fill about 2/3 of the width of the dresser, which proportionately should be fine - and allow for buffet style lamps on each end if you wish.

As for the frame, I think it kind of depends on the furniture piece below it. If the dresser is really massive and detailed, a frameless beveled mirror may look too skimpy. If the dresser is very modern and clean-lined, a frameless mirror may be perfect.

Also, remember that you can purchase a picture frame that you like and have a mirror added.

les017...The oval mirror that I found is not framed. It is beveled, but not framed. I just sorta feel that a unframed mirror above a dresser will look "unfinished". I have hunted for an oval frame large enough to put a mirror in and can't find one without paying $400 or so. Has anyone else hung an unframed mirror above a dresser? Any pictures? Thanks. This is really driving me nuts!
