Most vanities here hand you a desktop and a mirror and leave you to find a chair. The Xixini arrives as a set — stool, lit mirror, two outlets, two USB ports and a rack for a hair dryer — inside a 31.5-inch width that slides between a door and a dresser. That completeness is why it's the one we recommend first: you can sit down and use it the evening you finish the build, which is rarer in this category than it should be.
The storage is two deep drawers and four open shelves. The drawers take brushes, palettes and a couple of hot tools; the shelves take what you want to grab without pulling anything out. The detail we kept coming back to is the hair dryer rack on the side — hang the thing and it stops living in a drawer. The top is a full inch thick and rated to 50 lb, so a tray, a jewelry box and the mirror are not a problem.
The RGB underglow is a flourish: sixty thousand colors, phone control, a light show underneath the desktop. We minded it less than we expected, because it costs no storage and no desk space, and a teenager will use it far more than you will. What we did notice is the weight — 64.6 pounds, tall and awkward — so build it where it's going to live rather than dragging it up a hallway afterwards.
