Alright, so I'm a 50-year-old dude who knows more about fixing engines than interior design. But when my 10-year-old daughter started begging for a neon sign for her room, I figured, "Why not?" She's at that age where everything needs to sparkle and shine. This butterfly mirror thing seemed like a safe bet, so I ordered it.
Now, I'll be honest, when I first pulled it out of the box, I thought, "This is way too girly for my taste." But hey, it's not my room, right? The thing is actually bigger than I expected, and the neon light is surprisingly bright. It's not just some cheap plastic toy; it feels pretty well-made.
My daughter was over the moon when she saw it. She immediately hung it on her wall and started admiring herself in the mirror. Apparently, it's the perfect backdrop for practicing TikTok dances and taking selfies with her friends. Whatever makes her happy, I guess.
The dimmer switch is a nice touch. It allows her to adjust the brightness, which is helpful at night when she's trying to sleep. The light gives off a nice, soft glow that's not too harsh. And the mirror itself is a decent size; it's not just a tiny little thing.
My only real complaint is that the neon tube is exposed. I'm a bit worried about her accidentally bumping into it and breaking it. It seems sturdy enough, but you know how kids can be. Maybe it could have used some kind of protective covering.
Overall, though, I'm pretty happy with this purchase. It's added a fun and unique touch to my daughter's room, and she absolutely loves it. And at the end of the day, that's all that really matters. Plus, it's way better than having a poster of some boy band plastered on her wall, so I'll take it.
