BOBKONA St. Croix Collection Vanity Set with Stool, Black

Let me start by saying that I'm really pleased with this vanity. If you've already researched the product and are just looking for a review that confirms what you already suspect, then by all means, place your order. You won't regret this beautiful vanity for such an amazing price. If you're still unsure then let me clarify a few things that I was concerned about before I received my order... First of all, take some measurements to see if this is going to fit into the space you're buying it for. I happened to have a pretty large area to fill for my vanity and I was pleased to see that this is a bit deeper than most vanities that I found. I try not to store too much stuff on top of my vanity because I don't like the cluttered look, but this vanity could hold a ton if you wanted it to, all without even touching the drawer space. The drawers are the things that worried me the most. Like most vanities, these drawers don't pull entirely out, so if you're storing small items loose in the drawers then some of them are absolutely going to roll into the back and be difficult to see. (This didn't concern me too much, it seems like an issue all vanities have). My makeup collection is out of control so I knew there was no chance I'd be able to fit even a portion of my makeup in the drawers, but for the average person you won't have any issue getting all of your makeup (and probably a lot of other things) into the vanity. The top three drawers are pretty shallow. For reference, I can fit my hairbrush in there without any issue but I couldn't stand up a bottle of nail polish or foundation. The bottom two drawers are a bit taller and you'll be able to fit some of those deeper products in there. The drawers pull out smoothly and don't stick at all. The stool is surprisingly sturdy, something I was a little nervous about, and the quality of the fabric seems really nice and durable. Assembly was an absolute breeze. The entire tabletop and drawers section is shipped as one big piece. All you have to do is screw the four legs on and stand the vanity up. The mirror has to be screwed into the back of the vanity so that it stands up and you'll need a screw gun for this step (screws are included). The stool legs get bolted easily into the wood surrounding the cushion. There's an allen key included. The most difficult part for most people will likely be getting it into the house from wherever UPS drops it. The box is as small as it possibly can be, but it's heavy (though not entirely impossible for one person to move alone). UPS had a "team lift" sticker on my box, I'd suggest the same for you). The wood itself is really nice. I wanted something that looked beautiful and wasn't just a wood-like sticker over particle board. I'm sure I'll scratch it eventually but the product was well packaged and arrived without any scratches or dings. I considered getting a glass piece to cover the top to prevent scratching or staining but then realized that the mirror would likely get in the way. I was right, it would have. If you're considering a glass cover then take into consideration the fact that the mirror bumps in about an inch so you won't be able to order the exact size of the table top. I guess that's it. I hope that was helpful. Enjoy your vanity if you decide to get it, I know I will be!

Where to start….Well first thing is first my review is completely from a guy’s perspective so ladies bear with me ok…Thanks!!! Before deciding to buy a vanity set for my girlfriend I did my fair amount of research and asking my girlfriend random questions here and there to get an idea of what she’s looking for vs what she would want and finally what fits the space we are working with. With that in mind spent like 2 months searching amazon and different places and blogs and the opinion of other women to see what they thought as well. Finally the long hard decision came to be purchasing this item for her and frankly I didn’t go wrong the glow and smile on her face as she came home from work to see a vanity set sold me well and above what I expected haha. After reading many review on here I was at first a little worried about the packaging and shipping and was hoping that nothing was wrong but all my worries were for nothing the packaging was amazing and would rate the shipment I received a A. Assembly took me about 10 minutes once everything was laid out and would be faster with 2 people (FYI the package itself is huge and suggest 2 people carry it) Again it’s only a suggestion for all those big strong types men and women you’ll be fine :P The storage on this thing is great (again from a guy’s perspective) Now the drawers itself don’t pull out all the way out which I don’t really understand why but it’s definitely not a deal breaker. But for the woman who LOVES makeup like my girlfriends then I suggest doing what I did and buy some drawers or storage bins from Sephora (only one I really know of around my area) The top of the vanity itself is big and gives you lots of space for them. NOTE: What I do recommend because the top could seem to nick and mark easily is to buy a piece of glass and have it made for the vanity. I will be doing that and I also saw in pictures someone else did the same thing. After all you want to keep the stuff you buy like brand new!! Also I put in liners in the drawers to help keep those clean from loose makeup or whatever. Quality – For the price I swear you can’t beat it and the simple fact amazon says I saved $382.89 (64%) I’m sorry but you can’t beat that at all. The vanity itself feels and looks great!!! It did have some minor nicks on it that were painted over but you’ll never know unless you’re up close and inspecting it so again not a deal breaker for me. Well with all this being said I would recommend this item to anyone looking to buy a vanity the price is great the reviews are great and the product is also great. I hope that this review helped as I definitely loved buying this for her and the prospect of getting my cabinet under my sink again is….AWESOME doubtful but I enjoy the idea hahaha

I really wanted to be able to leave a 5 star review, but my stool came with one leg missing the threads in one of the holes to secure it in place with the included bolt. This left me with a crooked stool. My husband is going to the hardware store this weekend to try to see if he can buy the threads to insert into the open hole so we can fix the issue (as now one leg bows in). Hoping we can fix it before it snaps out from under the stool. We did not discover this issue until we had already assembled the table and we certainly didn't want to return over a stool leg. I never even bothered to contact the company as I figured they would most likely make me return the whole set based on other reviews I had read on this vanity. But, the table itself is in perfect condition. There was one small chip in the paint, probably due to transit but it was hardly noticeable and near the bottom of the table. I find the drawers fit all of my makeup with no issues and I just love the timeless look of this table. Has a vintage vibe but still fits into my modern bedroom. I did switch the handles as other reviewers had. My kids were enjoying the clicking sound of the included handles way too much! And I also purchased a desk protector to prevent from dealing with makeup stains on the table. It was also a breeze to put together. The whole top is already assembled with the drawers in and everything. All we had to do was screw the legs on and then pre-drill holes and screw the mirror on. Easy peasy. Once my stool is fixed I know I will be absolutely 100 percent please with this set. But I had to remove the one star for the hassle of us having to repair this stool. The quality control obviously needs to be a little tighter on these.

I have been searching far and wide for a vanity set and am so happy that I found this! It is well designed and sturdy..all for a very great price. I got home and had the package at my door - shipping was so fast! My estimated date was 12/10-12/13 and I got it on 12/9 - that's a day early, people! It's a pretty heavy package (almost 80lbs) so you may need help lifting it but I handled it on my own with little struggles by "rolling" it haha. :) It was also packaged very nicely with styrofoam even on the outside corners of the package to prevent damage during delivery. After I took out all the pieces, I noticed a few indents but they aren't noticeable at all...I'm just very OCD about checking every inch of a new product (even the bottom of the table haha :P) but nothing that would make me return the product. Tip for getting it out of the box (esp. if you're doing it by yourself): put it on the floor horizontally and cut the tape at the sides and middle (as you would normally when you open a boxed package), then break open one of the sides of the cardboard box so you can slide it out easily making sure that you aren't scratching any of the surfaces. I used the styrofoam under it as a cushion between the floor and the table - this also helped the table slide out much easier. Assembly was a breeze (for the most part)... 1. THE STOOL: all you had to do was align the legs to the cushion and put in 2 screws per leg. very easy. 2. THE TABLE: the table itself came assembled already so, again, all you had to do was attach the legs. Unlike the stool legs, the table legs don't even need screws. you just pop off the cap from the leg (that protects it from scratching the other legs during delivery) and screw it into the table. again...very easy! 3. THE MIRROR: now this was the hard part. To be honest, I haven't even installed the mirror yet because I don't have a power drill and am not strong enough to make holes myself. The mirror comes with 2 mounting bars to stabilize the mirror with the table. HOWEVER, the table and the mirror DON'T have pre-drilled holes for you to turn the screws into so you'll have to drill your own holes. For the moment, I'm just resting the mirror on the table at an angle so it's in place and won't fall over. Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase and would DEFINITELY recommend this product to anyone looking for a vanity set. I can't wait to fill up the drawers and make it my own. Love it!

I found a great bargain at a resale shop on a highend dresser for our master bedroom, but the black finish didn't go with the rest of my furniture. I was on the fence as to whether I would paint my existing furniture, or buy new. I saw this vanity on another site for around $400. When I searched 'black vanity set' here on Amazon, I was pretty psyched to see for less than $300, including tax and with Prime shipping. Also, it's wood, not pressed board, which surprised me in this price range. SOLD. It arrived well packaged and in good condition. I didn't opt for any delivery upgrades so the trucking company left it on the porch, but they had handled it properly and there was no damage even to the outside carton. It's HEAVY, so if you don't have someone to help unload, do what I did: open the carton outside and carry it in piece by piece. That's not as daunting as it sounds. The top section is assembled, with the drawers also assembled and in place. You only have to attach the legs to both the stool and vanity and secure the mirror to the vanity. The included hardware was good quality and organized, the instructions were clear. The whole process took around an hour including unboxing. Most importantly, once assembled, it's a great looking piece. They weren't hedging about it being wood. Even the back panel that faces the wall, which I expected to be the heavy tagboard that comes on a lot of flatpack furniture, was wood. The finish is sort a matte satin and the drawer hardware is simple but elegant. The side hinges on the mirror are full piano hinges and are functional. The seat is a perfect height. The three top drawers are the perfect depth for makeup palettes and tubes-deep enough that everything fits, not so deep that it all gets stacked and muddled. The two lower drawers are good for jewelry boxes or bigger jars, or things like sunscreen that wouldn't look pretty sitting out. The size is perfect, as is the design. It's not an overly dainty 'little girl's bedroom' piece, but has a delicate look and doesn't crowd the room. It would probably work in a larger bathroom as well.

This piece is beautiful. I thought I'd luck out and be a lucky ones and get one undamaged unit. The outside box was perfect. Wrapped very well. We put the legs on lift up to stand up and the back corners are totally smashed in . The thing that bothers me so much besides the amount of money that I spend over all with Amazon. IS: With the outer box UNDAMAGED??? *** Does that not scream the seller knew what they were sending?*** Well if that is true or its Amazon shipping department; that is so sad. If they have this many returns you would think it would be checked and double checked before it went out. Its unreal it was well packed someone just had to have dropped it and put it in a different box. I can not fathom any thing else. I am glad I read reviews and saw that I had better order an amazon prime shipped unit just in case it cane damaged. As so many have been. I thought I would luck out! BOO HOO! I figured even if I paid more up front it could be quite a bit for shipping as others have said if it needs to be shipped back. UNFORTUNATELY it does. I don't know how many of you have noticed but you can buy this EXACT vanity from various sellers and pay anywhere from just under a hundred to over $700.00 What we noticed is a couple of slight differences. Look at weights and drawer constructions. The color is cappuccino, just like my bedroom furniture it is not dark cherry thank goodness and I knew that by all the reviews. It really is BEAUTIFUL. The difference between the better ones are how the drawers are constructed this one is really nice. So I sort of said two things here the make this read confusing so what I am saying is really read all the descriptions and weights. Some weights seem to be off but some weights are due to the construction even though they look identical. Now I have to wait because I have to return it. THAT'S SUCH A DRAG! I pray this is a one time back and forth. Because I have wanted one of these since middle school. I am now an Empty Nester! I feel when I but a new product I should not have to settle for less than par. No dings or bashes! I took photos and now can't see how to include them with my review. Oh well I need to arrange for return. What a drag. This piece is just so beautiful and the round stool is even comfortable. The drawers are smaller than I thought but it is great either way. This is my dream piece of furniture and I want it to be perfect its brand new...not used! ESPECIALLY NOT DAMAGED. I really hope that I get to come up date this review and give it the five stars as it deserves. Update 5-27-12 In repacking the unit we found that the box was not perfect and most definitely is damaged on the two corners opposite each other the long way so it was those two corners that were damaged. My apologies goes to Amazon, hopefully they can have it out with UPS. This box was not handled well. It got here practically over night. I think perhaps they work so hard to get it to us fast it is not given enough handle with care as the box says. Not complaining about speed; I love that but care needs to be taken when expensive items are being shipped that have the potential to be damaged. Amazon is allowing me to do an exchange way cool! UPDATE: June 2, 2012 I received my second one on Tuesday after Labor day. They picked one up and dropped one off. We can't get to it till the weekend. Thank goodness Amazon has an amazing returns policy and they will continue to ship them till its right as long as you have Prime and a credit card to charge. I am not willing to accept this great piece of furniture damaged. Other wise is built so well, even the drawers are sturdy not stapled in thin bottoms but real wood with supports in the corners. I just want it right. This is what I wrote in comments. "Again The box is fine the interior packed well. The back bottom outside corner is again bent & broken it was obviously rammed into something. It appears to us that this must be factory defects." I HOPE THE NEXT ONE IS PERFECT! June 10th is my 56th b-day; and I have wanted a three mirror vanity heck any mirrored vanity since middle school so its going to be perfect. I guess this is turning into my B-day gift! This will be handed down to my daughter and truly is how well it is built, it just needs to get out of the warehouse where it is built...undamaged. Again Amazon is allowing me to do an exchange way cool!

This vanity is absolutely beautiful in the cherry color. Installation was a breeze however I have only just a few complains. One: The stool is not meant to last unfortunately, it seems like it was the only piece that was very poorly manufactured and I'm looking for a replacement in the near future. Two: The mirror back mounts must be manually screwed in with a phillips screw driver, the wood is very soft to allow for this so make sure you have a tape measure and you get the exact measurements to line up the back panels for the mirror. Three: The drawers only come out about half way and look more shallow than they actually are. If you place small products in the back of your drawers you are likely to forget about them since its a hassle to dig through and find them. What I do like about this vanity is that its perfect for the amount of makeup and products I've accumulated over the years with the 5 deep drawers, the wood has a very nice smell to it and the imperfections were very minimal. If you do plan on moving the vanity from one place to another keep in mind you should not remove the mirror and it must be moved in one piece (minus the legs) due to having to manually screw in the mirror. I have updated my vanity with a 16.5x42" plexiglass top I got at Lowes and had them cut, other viewers say if you want the glass flush with the edge get 17x42". I also ordered some LED lights that stick to the inside groove of the mirror, they are EXTREMELY bright and with a dimmer are just perfect. You can order my exact lights from LE 16.4 flexible light strip and their power supply here on Amazon!

I purchased this vanity for myself. The shipping process was quick and the packaging was excellent. The vanity arrived with absolutely no damage what so ever. Assembly was pretty easy and I was able to figure out the vague directions and put the vanity together all by myself (I'm a 53 yr old woman). There are no holes in the back for the screws to attach the mirror, but they go in pretty easy with a screwdriver. One screw would not go in properly, so I am going to the hardware store to replace it. I got the cherry wood colored vanity and I am pleased with the color. The drawers are kind of small and do not fit into the vanity properly. You can see the spaces between the drawers and the frame. The space underneath for your knees is a somewhat narrow. So if you're a little thick in the thighs like me, this may be an issue. Now for the stool.....The seat was stuffed under the knee area of the vanity, for shipping purposes. I found it a little difficult to get it out of there. If you turn the cushion over, you will find the hardware you need in a little bag to attach the mirror and attach the legs to the stool. The cushion seat is covered in plastic, which was very difficult to take off because it's wedged between the wood and the seat cushion. As I was pulling it off, stings of the material were coming out of the crease. While attaching the legs, I felt that they weren't fitting in the cutouts properly, but I continued putting the stool together. After removing the plastic off the cushion, I noticed the cushion has this horrible moldy and musty smell to it. I sprayed it with a product made to mask odors and it had absolutely no affect. I then took a quick whiff of the actual vanity and found that it also mildly had that musty smell. I'm hoping with time that smell goes away because now my whole bedroom stinks. In the meantime I will search for a product that hopefully can clean and freshen the wood.As for that stool.... it may just end up in the garbage. All in all, The vanity is okay... It serves it's purpose. Would I buy it again? No. Would I recommend it? Probably not. If I could make my purchase again, knowing what I know now, I would probably keep looking and spend a little more money on something of better quality. As others have said, you get what you pay for.

Very nice Vanity , it is a quality unit. Real wood and perfect little unit for the bedroom. Wish it has bigger drawers or more though..

Durable and sturdy

Honestamente me sorprendió la calidad de la madera y su fortaleza.

Nice table. No damage. Drawers a bit small but looks fantastic.

Well builded and unmatched price
