This type of mirror should not fall off the wall if it's mounted to a stud with long enough screws. Sounds to me like someone wanted to put the mount on sheetrock where there was no backing stud and used plastic anchors...a sure recipe for failure. Are you at a point in the project where you can have backing studs installed to provide adequate support for the mounts? If you're lucky, you may be able to use the existing studs; if not, and the wall is closed, consider opening the wall cavity up to put in backing studs.

We had our upstair bathrooms renovated a few years ago and chose Minka Lavery pivot mirrors to go over our new sage vanities. My husband expertly installed them; no issues. They are beautifully made; high quality and a classic look. I did a lot of research on pivot mirrors too. I am known as the Research Queen. We are quite happy with these mirrors in our “Forever Home”. They come in many shapes, sizes, and finishes. Best of luck in your journey!

If the contractor you have, can not use backer board , find studs behind a mirror location? Plan for the chosen mirror? You don't have the right contractor. Properly installed , they do NOT fall off.

You might show the elevation drawing of the vanity wall, and inform the size you are considering.

It would be good to show us the space but I do agree this will not fall off if installed properly and how much is the tilt going to help with the place it is going . I need to see the space . Post the pic here in a comment DO NOT start another post.

The mirror should not be mounted into drywall. Your GC should install plywood behind the drywall to support the weight of the mirrors.

Thank you everyone for your feedback. After talking to the GC he better conveyed that the concern is with the hing strength to hold the weight of the mirror.

When looking at reviews/brands are there specific things I should be looking for? I can’t help but think the previous client may have picked a poor quality item or it was defective with hundreds of 4 and 5 star reviews

This is the best photo I have to offer of the space. There is approx 30” to work with between the backsplash and where the curve starts at 6’. The electrical box opening is slightly below the lowest point where a mirror would hit.

Open to any other ideas for the dual sink master bath vanity- decisions fatigue has set in at this point.

I've had one up for several years. It doesn't get adjusted much. It is still stable, and it was a pretty cheap one.

(I used a tilt mirror because it can be in front of the backsplash since it sticks out from the wall.)

Have you considered instead building out the wall a few inches with a deep and wide medicine cabinet?

Was the tilt for appearance or functionality? If you need it to tilt down for functionality e.g. a wheelchair bound or very short person, there are ADA approved tilt mirrors but they are fixed in a tilt.
