Some shoppers are complaining about the size of this vanity, and yes, it is small, but that's kind of wonderful, especially if you're wanting to add a vanity to a small space like a bathroom  The mirror leans back more than 90 degrees as long as you don't put the table right up against the wall.  Being able to lean it back means that at 5'7" I have no problem seeing myself in the mirror.  This table has TONS of storage space and yes, it does take a while to put together but it isn't difficult, just time consuming.  A few comments that I read before purchasing it said that the mirror was not well attached to the top, and I can only say that this was not my experience - the mirror feels very solidly stuck to my vanity table. The set is very attractive.  I would recommend this set.
