I bought this for my daughter for Christmas.  I read the review's online stating many thought it was difficult to put together.  I did not have a problem at all.  I thought the directions were easy and they were step by step.  I was able to put it together without any help except for the mirror which my husband helped with :)  I thought the vanity was great quality and had a lot of storage space.  My daughter loves it!  I do too since now her room is a lot less cluttered!  I also love that the mirror folds down so she can also use it as a homework desk for her laptop!
