My boyfriend put this together in about 1.5 hours. Having a drill will save you a ton of time putting this together. He also attached a four light vanity bar to the top and added an electrical outlet (not included) to the side.The vanity has a ton of storage. Still undecided on if Ill paint it or not. Im waiting to see how it is to keep clean. All in all Id say a solid purchase for the price. However I dont know how well it would hold up if you plan on moving it a lot. Its not wood and is kind of like ikea furniture.
