I love this vanity set as much for its appearance as its multi-functionality. It will serve as a focal point in a bath remodel so I appreciate its "table" look when closed. I love being able to use it for make-up where products "disappear" once I'm done! I could see using this set as a desk since front center flips down (laptop storage.) It has a port to feed a cord through inside front center; nice touch! It was very well packaged. No damage in shipping. Assembly was easy. Cushioned bench comfortable.
