After comparing all of the beautiful vanity sets, I chose the Strathmore in black as it seemed to have the most storage.  Very glad that I did, both the vanity and the bench are attractive and well-made.  The side cabinet and drawer are very sturdy and roomy. The top storage under the flip-up mirror is great for cosmetics and accessories, very spacious but I would not put anything too weighty inside this compartment as the wood is not as sturdy in the bottom of this compartment as it is in the rest of the unit.  A very attractive and functional piece for the price!
