I researched vanities for months before purchasing this for my granddaughter for Christmas. From other reviews I read for other vanities they were all poorly made and shipped with little cushioning. Giantex was the only one rated well and worth taking a risk on. I waited till cyber Monday to see if the price would come down and it did. That was a risky move because if anything was broken I wouldn't have time to replace it before Christmas. Nothing came broken or damaged. It was not easily scratched. I took it out and put it together in under an hour. The top is not secured to the table so it can be used as a homework desk if you want. We wanted ours secured so we put a bracket on each side on the back and secured the sides with heavy-duty velcro and it came out perfect. Most important my granddaughter loves it! I would highly recommend this vanity for a girl to teen.
