Hello @endy

Thank you for your patience. I've had a close look at the hanging system of the mirror, and it does not look like it can be moved. It also appears that nothing can be attached to the back of the mirror as the manufacturer has installed a thick cardboard backing. It provides excellent protection for the back of the mirror but is not strong enough to add a third-party hooking system for it to hang horizontally.

I can only suggest perhaps looking at other mirrors such as the Barelli Signature Polished Edge Mirror - 900 × 1500 × 5mm or the Cibo 900 x 600mm Coast Veneer Fresh Frame Mirror along with the Attica 700mm Brushed Gold Baia Framed Premium Round Mirror as possible alternatives.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Hello @endy

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about hanging a mirror.

I'm unsure if that mirror can be hung horizontally as you mentioned that the bracket for it is for vertical hanging only. I will be passing by the store tomorrow and will have a look and see if the mirrors hanging system can be moved or if other hanging hooks will work with it. As soon as I have more information, I will get back to you.

In the meantime, I recommend having a look at this guide - How to hang just about anything by @Adam_W.

Thank you for your patience.
