Bobkona St. Croix Collection Vanity Set with Stool, Oak

OMG!!!!! I absolutely love my new makeup vanity! I ordered the one in walnut and it is sooooo freaking cute and very strong and sterdy!!! It is made of real wood and it is sooo much better and easier for me to do my hair and makeup at the vanity rather than in the bathroom because I can sit down and I have great lighting. I am a single mom with no help from any men at all and I put this togther all by myself! I am not good and putting things togther, especially with screws and stuff lol I am not a handy man at all but this was super quick and easy! I had trouble figuring out the mirror but I got it situated lol (I used gorilla wood glue) I didn't know or understand how to put the legs on the mirror to attach it to the vanity and it works like a charm. I know this is not a gorilla wood glue review but everyone should go out and buy some of thay stuff! It is amazing! But so is this vanity! Great price! Great product! I'm in love with it and it is one of the best purchases that I have ever made!!!!!

Arrived safely, double packaged. I was able to carry it (in pieces) to the 2nd story myself and assembled all but attaching the mirror on the vanity (husband was coming home in matter of minutes so I gave him that honor). Easy to assemble. Most difficult step was to get legs even on the stool. Stool seems pretty sturdy. I definitely would not slide it back while sitting on it as I am sure that would strain the leg attachments (regardless of your size I would not recommend sliding it while you sit on it). I am a moderately plus size girl and it is able to hold me without any creaking or wobbling and seat is comfortable; height of stool to vanity is just right. The drawers are shallow and do not slide out all the way but it is a minor inconvenience. I will be putting makeup and orrhaps jewelry or fashion items in them not anything bulky so they are fine! They slide nicely on the track. The vanity looks beautiful and I am very pleasantly surprised how nice it looks.

Arrived on time...walnut color looks fine with my oak antique looking BR furniture. I am not one to think it has to be matchy-matchy as long as it blends well with the other things in room and it does. Fine putting it together...all was there except one screw for mirror bracked, I have that size in tool box, no biggie. What I am forlorn and only give four stars is as someone else mentioned, there are no holes drilled for the mirror brackets...the brackets have holes, the mirror has a point to start, no hole and I am a girl who never used a drill. I have a drill given to me when another got a cordless Anyone know a way to just put it on without drilling machine? They sorta make me nervous. Then there is the measuring...oh gads. I am not going to hire a handy man which cost nearly as much as product for to put the mirror on. Otherwise I am over all pleased. I would have given it five stars it if had the brackets holes drilled on mirror and dresser. Stool is sturdy enough for me as well. One other small thing was that a back leg of the dresser would not screw all the way in, and I just put to pieces of the double thick stick multi use thin house tape (the white kind, not reg desk double stick tape it would be to thin and not strong enough. I put the tape under dresser and where leg joins and it made it stable, no wobble or anything. I just await the time to try out a drill, get my nerve up so to speak.

It came beautifully packaged, well protected all the parts intact. To shorten this review, Ill go over the parts one at a time:Mirror: Arrived intact, attachment holes lined up really well with the vanity bodyVanity: LOTS OF SPACE!!!, clean lines, draws pull out easily, unit is wide enough to fit ALL my stuff but not bulky. The legs of the vanity are screwed into the MDF BASE, so when your'e gently trying to get it right side up (it comes table side down)...that soft creaking sound, is the wooden leg separating itself from the MDF body. I had to glue mine back together and reinforce it with a screw.Stool: I think I drew the short straw here. One of the legs would not fit into the space. I unscrewed the other three legs and shuffled them around to make sure that it was not just a fluke...uhm....No. I had to sand the sides of the slot down to allow the leg to fit into the space, only to realize that one of the other legs was too SHORT! (insert hysterical screaming here!)I used a furniture pad to even it out. It should be ok? Nope! The stool is unsteady. I sat on it (5'11, 138 lbs) pushed back to get up...then heard the soft creak of the leg separating from the body. I put the stool aside in favor of another piece I had in the house.All in all, I got a stool-less vanity....Ill take it! Won't buy it again though, but its serves it purpose

This is a beautiful piece of furniture. We bought it for our daughter for Christmas and it came packed in foam BIG TIME. The only issue we had with shipping was that it took a long time. It was supposed to be here between a certain range and it arrived a week after the later date. Of course keep in mind it is December and everyone is shipping things at that time. It did arrive before Christmas. One of the 4 stool legs didn't fit right because the glue/screws to the stool top weren't installed correctly. My husband was able to fix it by taking that part apart and regluing it. It scratches really easy though so I believe we will be getting a glass top to protect the top. We made the mistake of setting the unattached mirror on top of the table to prepare it for mounting and the hing scratched the top. Drawer slides are nice and sturdy. Just put the legs on table and chair and the mirror on and it is ready for use.
