"We recently purchased one of these cabinets (white with glass door) to replace a conventional 30 x 18 inch vanity set in our cottage. Other than some minor chips, there was no major damage or "green" show–through spots that other reviewers have mentioned. The drawers were functional but they did not move as smooth as I expected. The lower door fit OK in the closed position but felt loose when it was open. There seemed to be a lot of slop in the side hinges. The cabinet itself seemed sturdy. The door pulls were angled and off-center so I removed them, filled the holes, and installed new pulls in the correct position.
The base cabinet is not white; it is more of an almond color. If you order it and expect a true white finish, leave yourself some time to repaint it before you assemble the top and fixtures. The granite top is of an acceptable quality but it is glued to a wood base. The base portion of the top had a lot of glue drips around the perimeter so we removed them and re-painted the edge of the top's wood base with a flat white paint to make it blend better with the granite top finish. I suggest that you clean, seal, and polish the granite top before you assemble the bowl and faucet to it.
The bowl (ours is the clear glass version) seems to be a very good quality with a consistent shape and no noticeable flaws in the glass. It is large and useful. The faucet seems to be of good quality and they included a pair of 20 inch reinforced risers that should be sufficient for most installations unless your water valves are very close to the floor. They also include a "p-trap" but due to the location of our drain pipe, we needed to purchase a few inexpensive additional fittings.
Assembling the cabinet and fittings was not difficult. All of the holes lined up properly.
Overall, the cabinet seems to be a relatively good value for the money. We priced out some similar design cabinets and by the time you added the cost of the base, bowl, faucet and fittings, the cost was almost twice as much although the quality was noticeably better and the colors were what we would have expected."
