It's much darker than we expected or wanted. My wife was really hoping for a lighter vanity, and in some pictures it looks light and warm. We bought it because it was on a really good sale, and because of that good price we got and the weight of the unit (346lbs!), we're not going to bother returning it. She's just disappointed as some pictures make it look lighter than actually it is.

As for construction, it's very, very sturdy (if not bulky), and the white top is stunningly beautiful, with nice hints of gold color mixed into the gray accents. The soft close cabinets and doors are really nice. I'm quite satisfied, my wife is not so much.

(oh, and the delivery was a debacle! Terrible experience... you really shouldn't by from Wayfair if they can't get their on-the-ground customer service figured out. I can't give anything over a 3-star thanks to that).
