#6: Heirloom Cherry Vanity Set

This review is from: Heirloom Cherry Vanity Set I have only had this vanity table for a few weeks, but I love it. It was easy to assemble and looks beautiful in my room. I feel like such a diva when I put on my silk robe and sit at this vanity table to do my makeup in the morning. The table has enough room to fit a small desk organizer (Sterilite 2023 Large Countertop Drawers, White) which is where I store my makeup, and a cup for my makeup brushes. On the other side, there's room for my jewelry box. Other suggestions include a lamp (if you dont have enough lighting), a magnifying mirror, or a mirrored perfume tray. I wouldn't suggest putting makeup that can drip inside of the drawer because the wood there looks like it can stain. There is enough room for a comb or a small hand mirror.

Assembly was pretty easy for me, but I am used to putting things together. It took me a little over a half an hour to put this together. The instructions for which screw size to use can be a bit confusing if you have never assembled furniture before. Be sure to tighten the legs to the vanity stool so that they are strong and not wobbly.

This is a lovely piece of furniture, but note: This is not a child's toy. It is important that you are delicate with this furniture. I would recommend putting this furniture in the space where it will be used and not moving it to different rooms very often. Also, the vanity stool seems stable for me so far, but I make sure to sit on it gently. I'm an average-sized woman and I haven't had any issues so far. The product arrived undamaged and I am very happy with it. I received it as a gift and the person who gave it to me paid around $75 for it. It truly does seem like a bargain. For the price, it doesn't seem "cheap" at all.

Unfortunately I was not able to return due to the fact that it was a christmas gift. The other issue I had was with the vanity stool. After approximately 3 months the legs on the stool started to wiggle and come loose which I figured would happen with normal usage. What I did not expect is the legs to completely start coming off. (fyi: the person using this is very petite). They systematicall started loosening up very frequently no matter how much or how tight I tightened them. Also this item is labeled as "Heirloom", which the quality in this product is quite the contrary. In hindsight I should have just spent the extra few dollars for a better quality product.
