LA Good Question: Cheaper Version of this Mirror?

This would be the perfect mirror for above our friend's mantle. It's the epitome of simple and chic but the price tag is a little high, anyone have some cheaper alternatives?

Room and Board's Infinity Mirror Collection is highly covetable but the round mirror is nearly $600. It's sleek, it's modern, it isn't in your face. Have you seen anything similar for less?

In addition to the GRUNDTAL one from IKEA linked above (I have two, love them), they did/do (?) have a bigger round one that had a really nice bent ply frame. It's not on the website, but I'm pretty sure they still carry it.

Google "36" round beveled mirror"

Lots of hits.

Go with the ikea version (grundtal)... its pretty much identical but a little smaller... its 27 1/2" in diameter... makes a big statement and only $30!

Reminds me of safety mirrors:

Which I think are cool.

Try finding a wall mirror left over from someone's bathroom remodel. (I found several on Craig's List from $50 to FREE.)

You can then have the mirror cut to whatever size round you want by a glazier. My sister did just that with one of her own mirrors and it was only $15!

Lots of luck!
