If you go back a couple blog posts you can see the mirror back without the mirror in it.

I actually took a piece of 3/4" birch ply and cut out the entire back shape, then I traced the shape of the mirror onto it, and used a router to route out a 1/4" deep recess the shape of the mirror. I then used plain old liquid nails to fasten the mirror into the hole (after everthing was stained). We used some sea grass and hot glue to trim around the mirror as a final step to hide any little imperfections (and there were a lot of them) in the routed out hole.

Hope this makes sense. If not let me know.

Twenty whole dollars? COOL!!

Seriously, though, the vanity desk turned out excellent! Giving away woodworking projects you made yourself is 100x better than going shopping at a store. They will always remember and keep a woodworking project.
