Is tempered glass worth it over standard mirror glass?

Yes for a floor mirror. Tempered glass is heat-treated so it breaks into small blunt pieces rather than long shards, which matters for a large leaning piece in a room people walk through.

Can it be mounted on the wall instead of leaning?

Yes. It has integrated wall-mounting points in addition to the freestanding base, so it can hang flat as a focal point. Mounting hardware and wall type determine how it attaches.

How do I keep a leaning floor mirror safe?

Anchor it. A tall mirror on a stand can tip if bumped, so secure the top to the wall with a strap or bracket, especially in homes with kids or pets.

Will a stainless steel frame rust in a bathroom?

Stainless steel resists rust better than painted steel, but constant steam and water still take a toll. In a damp bathroom, dry the frame after showers and avoid standing water at the base.

What should I check before buying an oversized mirror?

Measure the wall height and the floor space for the lean angle, and confirm the doorway width for delivery. A full-length arched mirror needs clearance above and behind it.
