This is a very pretty piece of furniture. It's a bit taller than a regular vanity or pedestal sink. The package was very well packed, but ours arrived with a dent in the marble top on the back right side.  I didn't think it was worth the hassle to return it, since the rest was in great condition. Real hardwood!  Our plan is to cover the damaged area with caulking against the wall. We may add a backsplash, since there is no lip/area to catch water or sink spills.
