No bedroom is complete without a vanity table. Providing you with a neat spot to apply make-up, dry your hair or beautify, the vanity table is an age-old essential. As well as being the go-to spot for getting ready, it also serves as a handy storage unit, helping you to organize an otherwise messy room – we're not pointing fingers. Perhaps also, you might use your vanity table as a space to write, read or draw. In short, the vanity table offers you the luxury – or necessity – of a designated space to put your face on before braving the day. Oh, and it means no more lost cosmetics, a benefit we can all get behind.

A quick search online and you'll be bombarded with a glut of options to choose from. So, rather than overwhelming yourself with the sheer volume of choices out there, take a read of our uniquely curated list, which features a tight roster of tables, each of which comes with its very own quirks. Our personal favorite, the GreenForest Vanity Table, is an elegant choice with a glossy top and two drawers. Reasonable, it makes for an understated furnishing, at once sturdy and suitably sized. To learn more about this product, as well as our other go-to options, read on.
