Beautiful work on the board and pieces
I absolutely love the board and playing pieces but the storage case is less than ideal. Under the cover of the side where the product images show the playing piece storage is a mess of broken styrofoam. A picture of this is attached to this. Side note: on the product page images showing the board set up with pieces, the back row of pieces is set up incorrectly. From left to right it should be Rook-Knight-Bishop-Queen-King-Bishop-Knight-Rook.

My 3rd mirror. **Please use better hanging hardware!**
This is my 3rd reverse painted mirror from Asunta Pelaez. 1st was the small Crimson Star; then the octagonal Black Star; and my birthday present was this golden Sweet Flower Majesty. They are all beautiful, but I do have one complaint: Though the mirrors increased in size/weight, all are pre-mounted only with a single relatively cheap piece of hanging hardware (pictured -- the scratches on the paint are from hanging the mirror my wall, the removing it for the picture). I would need to *very carefully* mount another piece of hanging hardware to hang a mirror horizontally. Also, the existing hardware is both somewhat flimsy (I live in an earthquake zone), and mounted so near the edge of the frame that if you use a hook instead of just a nail, the hook is visible above the mirror. At the moment, my solution is to paint my hanging hook to match my wall. I would prefer to mount better hardware to the mirror, but the mirror is thin and I worry about breaking it if I add hardware!
