Wow! This vanity is absolutely beautiful! It arrived in multiple boxes but all the pieces were almost completely assembled - you just have to join the stool, little 3 drawer side table, top desk area, and right leg together. The stool was actually just ready to go! So great! The top is a marble finish, the cabinets are a leather feel - soft but firm and durable, and the hardware is a true gold. The legs are more of an antique gold color. My favorite part is the included mirror- it plugs in to the wall and has multiple light settings to do your makeup. Highly recommend this vanity!
