I purchased the three mirror vanity and it is absolutely beautiful! The packaging was superb as others have said and there was not one mark or blemish on the entire piece (until my son decided to help unwrap a package of legs). It is more of a satin rather than a high gloss finish and there does appear to be a lot of red in the table top, but very pretty. It is super easy to put together, it took me about 35-40 minutes from opening, sorting pieces and having it completely in place in my room. I did receive directions for assembly, but it is so easy I do not think I would have needed them, but the fact that they give you a few extra washers, bolts and screws, I suppose it could be confusing. The side mirrors are on hinges and can be folded in without rubbing on the table top of the vanity (I was worried about this). The mirrors are all regular mirrors. The legs of the vanity are solid wood, but the wood is soft so if you drop a leg on another it will most likely dent. The table top, mirrors, and drawer are MDF, this includes the angled blocks that the screws go through to align with holes in legs. That means, do not over tighten them or the block will bow and I imagine could crack. The stool is very solid in construction and appears that both the frame of the seat and the legs are solid wood, but again soft.The vanity feels very sturdy, but with the leg blocks being MDF I could see those cracking if not treated with care when moving. I would not slide it over any surface, especially carpeting and covered with heavy objects. With that being said, I do believe if cared for properly this piece of furniture will last a very long time and stay quite pretty.The only negative and it had nothing to do with the furniture itself is that I am a little too tall for the mirror. I am 5' 11" and after reading the review who said it fit his wife of the same height I must conclude she must have a much shorter torso than I do:) I will likely prop the vanity up on stained 2x4 blocks to add height so I don't have to hunch forward to see my head above my eyebrows! Such is life when you are tall.
