I would give this a five star review, except that the stool broke after a few days of use. The sockets of the stool came apart, as you can see in the photo. It was also VERY difficult to build - over 50 pieces, excluding screws. I love the vanity - lots of secret spaces and it fits all of my makeup and most of my hair products and hair appliances. For the price, I expected a better quality stool.
