Powell Antique Black with Sand Through Terra Cotta Vanity Mirror and Bench

This is a great vanity, I love the color which goes really well with my espresso-finish bedroom furniture. The middle drawer is unexpectedly large and quiet deep. It accommodated my modular cosmetic organizing system with no problem. The two bottom side drawers are extra deep which makes them great for larger bottles. Even though the vanity was backordered when I ordered it, it was delivered two weeks ahead of schedule. All in all I am very happy with how the entire transaction proceeded and would not hesitate to order additional items from this vendor.

First I want to say I love this vanity. The nicks or dents people are talking about I think are meant to be there as there's no paint or wood chipped off, it looks to me to be very intentional. It doesn't look awful by any means. Also in some edges there's a red tint. I don't mind it as it works with my room, and it really isn't noticeable either until you look closely.

I wish the mirror were taller as standing up my head gets cut off from view. Also, I think this is with any vanity, but it's pointless to do your makeup with mirror on the other side of the table. It's not a big deal tho, you can just buy a little stand mirror from the local store. The vanity mirror still helps a lot for doing hair and getting a whole picture. etc.

The drawers were a big selling factor for me. They don't seem very big, but they hold a lot of my stuff right now. They may not be very tall or wide but they're very long and can fit my lotion bottles, makeup palettes, etc.

All in all, I really like this vanity, and looking around, Amazon has the best price on it.

Now about my shipping experience. FIRST make sure your phone number on Amazon is updated. You have to call customer service to change it, because from what I can see, there's not option to do so online. It turns out the shipping company was calling my old number for about a week trying to arrange a delivery.

SECOND, check all the parts before you put it together or start throwing boxes away. I was building my vanity and got to the last part, the table and found a corner of it was smashed.

In the instructions there's a website for the manufacturer where you can order specific parts instead of exchanging the whole thing. I contacted them and the item was backordered. I emailed them trying to see if they were going to ship it to me eventually or if I needed to provide proof of purchase, cause if they weren't going to I needed to contact Amazon. I never tried calling them, I always seemed to miss their office hours, but you'll prolly have more luck doing that than I did emailing.

I called Amazon customer service and they were very helpful, saying we should wait another week to hear from the manufacturer and if nothing, then they could either replace it or offer me a discount. Make sure you're within the return period if you do this however.

In the end I got a whole new vanity and the shipping company took my old one with no shipping charges to me thankfully.

The funny thing is, later that week I get another message from the shipping company wanting to arrange a delivery for some MORE furniture. Looking into it, it turns out the manufacturer eventually DID ship me the part and never sent me any sort of message saying they did, I should expect it etc. Ugh, it was frustrating, but the manufacturer contacted me after I ignored the shipping company, hoping the issue would go away, and I told them Amazon replaced my order and I haven't heard from em since.

So there's my ordeal. As frustrating as everything was, I'll prolly order furniture from Amazon again now that I understand how it works so much better.

Conclusions, love the vanity but check all parts for anything broken, call the manufacturer, don't email, notify Amazon you've contacted the manufacturer even if you haven't gotten a reply yet, they're able to work with you more that way, make sure Amazon has your most recent phone number.

That's it! Enjoy!

Buy Powell Antique Black with Sand Through Terra Cotta Vanity Mirror and Bench Now

This was the first time I bought furniture from amazon.com and it'll be the last time I buy furniture from amazon.com.

My first vanity came in a reasonable amount of time and was delivered on the front porch because I left a note for the delivery person to accept the delivery, per the instructions of the delivery company that called to arrange the date and time of delivery. When I got home, I discovered that the corner of the box was severely dented. I opened the box hoping that the item was well packed and would have survived that, but it did not. I called the customer service line to process the return and they offered me a discount to keep the damaged item, but it was FAR, FAR to damaged to even do that. I scheduled the item to be exchanged. I was told that when the second item was delivered, the damaged item would be taken away.

A few days later when the delivery company called to arrange the delivery time of the replacement, I asked what they would do about the one that was damaged. The customer service rep very rudely informed me that they would do nothing about it because Amazon did not send them any paperwork about it. So, I made another call to Amazon customer and they resent the paperwork that instructed the company to remove the damaged vanity.

I left the damaged box on my porch along with another note to leave the item. When I arrived home from work, a new vanity was delivered. The vanity itself is nice, but there are some minor cosmetic defects and scratches from shipment, still. I'm going to keep this one, regardless, and try to fix or cover the scratches.

The item is nice, but it wasn't worth all of the time and hassle it took to get an undamaged item.

I bought this for my wife for Christmas. She had been wanting a vanity for awhile. After doing some research I settled on this one. I've seen this same model for $400+ on other sites so thought Amazon was the best bang for the buck. After reading the reviews I was also apprehensive about the package coming in damaged. I've never bought furniture online before and a lot of reviewers had complained of damaged parts. We have Prime so shipping was free and it got here super fast (by 2 days). It was still a few days from Christmas so I didn't open the package and just kept my fingers crossed hoping for no damage. When I finally opened it to assemble, I noticed the left back corner of the vanity had a bit of damage. It was nothing that I would send it back for though and honestly it would have been a pain in the ass to package it up as it was the main body and quite heavy. A little touch up paint and it should be fine. Overall the process of assembly went pretty smoothly. The only issue I had was the legs on the stool. In hindsight I should have pre-drilled holes in them. When you put in the support screws and apply too much pressure, the legs can crack. I think another reviewer may have mentioned this too. The vanity has lots of draws with decent space which was primarily what drew me to this one. Some of the others just didn't seem to have enough and those that did were way more expensive. Overall I'm pretty happy with the purchase and my wife LOVES it! And I love it too because now the bathroom doesn't have to have her makeup all over the place!

I've had this item for several months now and I absolutely love it. It has plenty of room, the mirrors fold in or out for convenience, the middle and side drawers are an added plus. I added two table lamps and still have plenty of space for everything. it looked exactly as advertised and was very easy to put together. I use a lot of makeup brushes so I added glass to protect it from scratching and easy cleanup but it's not really needed. Overall I'm very happy with this product.
