Well not to sure about that because I'm 83 going on 84 on May 27, Memorial day of this year, anyway , more shopping for me on Memorial for my Birthday😊

Melissa , take a picture of the broken piece and then call Temu customer service and tell them it is broken, they may give you some money back . They did for me on a piece of furniture I bought and put together but was too small for my husband’s shoes. It’s worth a try .

@NoRegrets. Ай бұрын

They have very good customer service of course it is typing but they refunded all of a cabinet for me when the slides were junk and would not function at all. So reach out they will do a partial refund for your broken piece

@sherylyates7551 Ай бұрын

I agree..they are good about that

@reneedimples8336 Ай бұрын

Temu sent me the wrong color bathroom set. I was given my money back & they let me keep the wrong items. Great job putting all that together 😊

I LOVE putting furniture together! It’s one of my favorite things to do and every time I go visit my sister she saves all those projects for me. I even do it for my brother. I loved it so much.

@tsgrandma9837 27 күн бұрын

I love putting together furniture as well. I love fixing/repairing, reupholstering, and repurposing furniture. Shoot, I like to repurpose anything I can!

@insignificant4264 Ай бұрын

You can tape the keys underneath one of the drawers so that they don't get lost and are out of the way.

@TheCheapChick Ай бұрын

That's a great idea! Thanks!

@karenoherron8863 Ай бұрын

My husband (#3 & last) and I have been married 18 years, but before we got together I was single for quite a few years. I was very independent and had to put things together myself. I still put things together myself and I am pretty good at it because I have had years of practice.

@pattyvincent5401 Ай бұрын

I would probably jump off a cliff before attempting this project! Seriously in High School they gave us a vocational testing. When finished, the teacher God bless her heart, said sweetheart do not go into any profession requiring you to put anything together! lol! Once my grandkids got puzzles with more than 10 pieces, they were on their own. I just can’t see how things should go together. The family knows and so put everything together for me.

@chanel58style70 Ай бұрын

Dam Melissa, you did a fantastic job putting this really nice vanity together. It looks so pretty. You have way more patience than I do, honestly I wouldn’t even attempt to try to put something like this together. Just a thought: If you would like to make the knobs fancier, Dollar Tree sells glass ones in pretty colors.

@TheDaisytails Ай бұрын

Yea. Thats cool and congrats on the build. I've made 2 pieces of Temu furniture in the last three weeks. I made a large printer stand that has three drawers and also shelves and wheels. And I made a large desk hutch that goes on top of my desk. I did find those black multi piece drawer sliders confusing but figured it out. I love that you are a real person and do real life stuff. HUGS

@princessmariposa828 Ай бұрын

Just put contact paper across the whole board that's cracked,it would look so pretty

Very pretty vanity. Growing up my dad would get so upset trying to put something together, so I would take over. I'm 68 now. You did a fantastic job!!!!!

@karenj6726 Ай бұрын

Get some contact paper for the top and for inside the drawers. You can even get a nice marble looking pattern. Take a piece to cover up the little boo boo on the wood inside the mirror.

God bless you! I have so much admiration for you - for your tenacity and determination to assemble (in my most humble opinion) a very complicated piece of furniture. I freak out just hanging a picture on the wall! You got it girl!

@aprilwaters2246 Ай бұрын

As you know I have cancer so I don't get to do much anymore. I love to diamond paint but I had to work on a little TV table. I told my Dad how much I would love an actual work space. I found a nice basic desk/table for $30. My Dad gave me the money to buy it for my birthday )so I now have an actual workpkace. He gave me an extra $20 to buy some kits!. My hubby and I got it together without too much trouble and I love it. I would recommend their furniture if you are willing to put it together.

@joycemeyer969 Ай бұрын

You talked of getting a mat to put across the front. Please note that if you get it long enough to put it in front of drawer, the drawer can not open, unless you were referring to just some type of protective paper.😊

Great job, Melissa. That is really pretty. You did an awesome job putting that vanity together.

@bugcoppock3910 Ай бұрын

I love assembling furniture. Awesome job. I did notice a few gaps between boards where you may need to screw together just a bit more. That may take care of the problem with drawer.

@jlm1965 Ай бұрын

Thanks Melissa for sharing!! Appreciate you taking the chance on buying things so we can see if it’s worth the buy !!

@jansusanjennafletcher1712 Ай бұрын

I absolutely LOVE putting things together!!! If a box is too heavy to move - I open it and take a few parts at a time. I use a muffin tin to hold all of the hardware and I like to use wood glue in all the places where pegs or cams & pins attach the parts together. Sometimes you run into a piece that won’t cooperate…that’s when I take a nice break, sit down with a soda & a snack and pull myself together! Then I go back at it! Hope the vanity works out for you!

I bought a dresser from Temu! I'd been eyeing the exact same one at Walmart for $75 and saw it on Temu for $40, so I grabbed it. I love it! The funniest thing was it came shipped from Amazon.

💕YAY MELISSA 👏👏👏. I would never have done that no matter how much I wanted change! I have a very similar set up as your old one and I will never change it. I love the shower chair!!! They are pretty comfy. I use a wooden chair from a table set that a friend made for my (now grown) daughter. It was maple.....I wasn't going to throw it out 😂. And the shelving unit.... from a dumpster 😂🤣. Great job 👍 Hope the drawer is an easy fix 🙂 Have a wonderful weekend 😊💕 Kim

You did a terrific job Melissa!!! I know exactly what you mean when husband and wife try to work together on a project.....🤣😂 It's really nice vanity, to bad a piece got damaged but you can always camouflage it. Was surprised to see that the knobs weren't white like the vanity but those can always be swapped out for different drawer pulls on Temu as well if you wanted too!!! They really do have everything......Take Care, hope your hands feel better soon ❤

@cristilabbe5883 7 күн бұрын

Great little vanity! I am quite familiar with building IKEA type furniture. I totally agree with building myself instead of involving the hubs. One thing I noticed is that the drawer brackets were installed opposite to the directions. The part you screwed into the drawer, should be on the vanity part and vice versa. The directions should have told you to separate the two pieces. It would allow for the drawers to work smoothly. Again, great piece and I’m glad you love it.

I think it looks great. I never used to have help putting things together but now my hubby and I try to do things together as it goes faster. Yes we snip at one another but not bad enough that I wouldn’t do it without him. The price was right too. I got one on marketplace for $75 but it’s not as big as yours. My chair is like a normal chair tho which I like. Ive been looking at furniture on there and now I may do it.
