I absolutely love this vanity! It looks great and assembly was pretty simple. The brass is more bronze than black so if you're looking for a black vanity you may want to reconsider. The bronze works great for my decor. I found you have to tilt the bottom mirrored glass to place correctly on the shelf. It does not slide in straightforward as pictured in the instructions. Also it was easier to attach the legs of the bench to the seat with a drill. Overall this is a great piece.
