Content: First I want to say I love this vanity. The nicks or dents people are talking about I think are meant to be there as there's no paint or wood chipped off, it looks to me to be very intentional. It doesn't look awful by any means. Also in some edges there's a red tint. I don't mind it as it works with my room, and it really isn't noticeable either until you look closely.
I wish the mirror were taller as standing up my head gets cut off from view. Also, I think this is with any vanity, but it's pointless to do your makeup with mirror on the other side of the table. It's not a big deal tho, you can just buy a little stand mirror from the local store. The vanity mirror still helps a lot for doing hair and getting a whole picture. etc.
The drawers were a big selling factor for me. They don't seem very big, but they hold a lot of my stuff right now. They may not be very tall or wide but they're very long and can fit my lotion bottles, makeup palettes, etc.
All in all, I really like this vanity, and looking around, Amazon has the best price on it.
Now about my shipping experience. FIRST make sure your phone number on Amazon is updated. You have to call customer service to change it, because from what I can see, there's not option to do so online. It turns out the shipping company was calling my old number for about a week trying to arrange a delivery.
SECOND, check all the parts before you put it together or start throwing boxes away. I was building my vanity and got to the last part, the table and found a corner of it was smashed.
In the instructions there's a website for the manufacturer where you can order specific parts instead of exchanging the whole thing. I contacted them and the item was backordered. I emailed them trying to see if they were going to ship it to me eventually or if I needed to provide proof of purchase, cause if they weren't going to I needed to contact Amazon. I never tried calling them, I always seemed to miss their office hours, but you'll prolly have more luck doing that than I did emailing.
I called Amazon customer service and they were very helpful, saying we should wait another week to hear from the manufacturer and if nothing, then they could either replace it or offer me a discount. Make sure you're within the return period if you do this however.
In the end I got a whole new vanity and the shipping company took my old one with no shipping charges to me thankfully.
The funny thing is, later that week I get another message from the shipping company wanting to arrange a delivery for some MORE furniture. Looking into it, it turns out the manufacturer eventually DID ship me the part and never sent me any sort of message saying they did, I should expect it etc. Ugh, it was frustrating, but the manufacturer contacted me after I ignored the shipping company, hoping the issue would go away, and I told them Amazon replaced my order and I haven't heard from em since.
So there's my ordeal. As frustrating as everything was, I'll prolly order furniture from Amazon again now that I understand how it works so much better.
Conclusions, love the vanity but check all parts for anything broken, call the manufacturer, don't email, notify Amazon you've contacted the manufacturer even if you haven't gotten a reply yet, they're able to work with you more that way, make sure Amazon has your most recent phone number.
That's it! Enjoy!
Summary: Awesome vanity, terrible shipping experience

Content: I received the vanity and it was extremely hard to put together... the legs need to be screwed in and theres something in the way of doing so. It took about 2 hours to do. Really frustrating.
Summary: Hard to assemble

Content: This was the first time I bought furniture from amazon.com and it'll be the last time I buy furniture from amazon.com.
My first vanity came in a reasonable amount of time and was delivered on the front porch because I left a note for the delivery person to accept the delivery, per the instructions of the delivery company that called to arrange the date and time of delivery. When I got home, I discovered that the corner of the box was severely dented. I opened the box hoping that the item was well packed and would have survived that, but it did not. I called the customer service line to process the return and they offered me a discount to keep the damaged item, but it was FAR, FAR to damaged to even do that. I scheduled the item to be exchanged. I was told that when the second item was delivered, the damaged item would be taken away.
A few days later when the delivery company called to arrange the delivery time of the replacement, I asked what they would do about the one that was damaged. The customer service rep very rudely informed me that they would do nothing about it because Amazon did not send them any paperwork about it. So, I made another call to Amazon customer and they resent the paperwork that instructed the company to remove the damaged vanity.
I left the damaged box on my porch along with another note to leave the item. When I arrived home from work, a new vanity was delivered. The vanity itself is nice, but there are some minor cosmetic defects and scratches from shipment, still. I'm going to keep this one, regardless, and try to fix or cover the scratches.
The item is nice, but it wasn't worth all of the time and hassle it took to get an undamaged item.
Summary: Nice enough, but pain to order

Content: When I received this item, it was clearly used. It had been assembled long enough for me to see the outlines of where the legs attach to the main, and it was extremely scratched and dented. I had to stay home from work in order to receive the replacement, and Amazon had not filed the proper paperwork in order to pick up the old one, despite telling me verbally and over email that they had. I will now have to stay home from work *again* to handle this. When I asked for a discount, they offered me 7% and refused to go higher. This has been a most frustrating experience and I won't be going through it again.
Summary: Bad Experience

Content: Received product in a very timely matter of time. Except for a chip on one of the edges, the vanity set was better than expected. Not too difficult to put together. Chair is a little wide and fits snuggly into the vanity well. Watch your knees. Would be great if the Chair has caster rollers. Overall- Very satisfied.
