I absolutely Love this vanity! It looks just like the picture, which is nice cause I always worry about coloring and whether the picture does the item justice. Its very very sturdy, I use mine as a desk for homework and taking notes, and also as a vanity. It holds a lot of stuff and there is a convenient hole in the back for cords if you keep your curlers in there. If you do that I recommend buying a rubber curling iron pad. It will protect the vanity from the heat of the iron. The only downside is that the vanity is shallow so if you have a bulky makeup bag or anything it wont fit. After some rearranging of my makeup collection the problem was solved and everything fits perfectly.
 The chair is very sturdy as well and matches perfectly. I chose to purchase a mirrored vanity stool because I liked the style, but the stool is now in my bathroom as a place to put your towels and or phone when showering. It is perfect and there are so many different uses out of one item!!!
