The vanity came without any chips or cracks. It was fairly easy to put together. There are two instruction manuals that come with it. Please use both of them. They compliment each other well. It’s pretty sturdy. If you want to protect the top of your vanity, please get plexiglass. Great benefit. So far, everything is well with it!!! Please use a drill, hammer, and the one tool it comes with. Also, there wasn’t enough wood glue that came with it, so you might need to purchase some on your own.
