GREAT! (But took forever to put together)
This vanity is wonderful and I adore mine! Buyer beware, it comes in a million and one pieces. The UPS guy only delivered to my front door and I live on the 3rd floor. The box was too heavy to carry by myself, so I had to unpack it on the first floor and make about 4 trips with all of the pieces. Make sure you take every piece out of the box - the bottom of the drawer and back of the cabinet are very thin (not wood) and I almost tossed them before I put the vanity together. In total it book me about 4 hours to put together. I tend to not read directions carefully and I didn't want to miss a step. All of the screws were scattered everywhere and it took me about 30 minutes to figure out which screws were which (I am NOT a screw girl. lol), and I thought I was missing some, but once I got figured that out and got past the first page of the instructions, it was pretty smooth sailing.
I followed suit of the person who added lights and added my own also. I bought the ones that Amazon suggested, but they need wiring. Youtube How To Build Your Own Vanity, and you can watch people do it. The lights Amazon suggested for this came with grounding wires, so I bought 3 prong extension cords instead of the switch that Amazon suggested also, which is only two prong. I put the lights on hinges so they could push back to allow the mirror to slide open to reveal the little shelves inside. The seat opens for more storage room.
Keep in mind the desk area is somewhat small, especially if you add mirrors because the bulbs stick out, so you cannot fit much more than a few little things and a mirror on it....I doubt you can fit a large acrylic makeup organizer, which is what I was hoping to do.
This was my first real project and I'm super proud of it. If I can do it, you can to! :)
