This is a beautiful vanity that really is solid wood - through and through! that is very rare to find and i am truly impressed. putting it together was a breeze. just follow the instructions and you are set!i have not finished this piece as we are in progress on the renovation, but the butcher block top is absolutely gorgeous as it is! i will be replacing the drawer pulls with some antique glass pulls in the future.i had searched forever for just the right piece in my master bath remodel and i am so excited that i held out. i found a piece of furniture that i can see being something that i will cherish.pros: great value, solid wood constructioncons: none
