I think I know why this is on sale. They're trying to get rid of them. Instead of calling this vanity Fiddlewood they should call it Driftwood.  That's what it looks like.  The wood is fir, which is basically the same wood as a 2x4, soft, not a hard wood.  And as far as the finish, picture a sanded 2x4 with a stain on it.  THATS IT.  I knew it wasn't glossy but NOT without ANY finish but a stain.  I'm still deciding whether to return it or put my own satin finish.  I would never use this vanity as is. Its horrible. I'm pressed for time.  My contractor wants to get started on this renovation.
