Description and images don’t do it justice. It’s actually a shiny black lacquer finish. The knobs are glam faceted “glass.” Fairly easy to put together. Lots of pieces, but they were well marked. Recommend an electric screwdriver! The depth measurement of the top area is deceiving, as the mirror takes up about 2 inches. That’s my only disappointment. The drawers are spacious and deep, and glide easily, which is great. Very happy to find a modern black vanity. Not many out there and certainly not with all these drawers. The wait, btw, is common with everything these days, so it’s not their fault. Boahaus customer service kept in touch and were quick to reply to my emails for status updates. Thumbs up!
