I’m looking for a vanity that is real wood(not mdf or engineered wood) for my bedroom as a christmas present. Everywhere I look it is some type of manufactured wood. My family will buy me a vanity but the agreement is that it has to be real because they think fake wood won’t last. I’ve looked all over at Lowe’s, Home Depot, Amazon, impressions vanity, ikea,and pretty much anywhere you can think of but I can’t find anything. I need drawers on the side and a Hollywood style mirror. My budget is up to $700, Please help!

There is now a mirror inside for it to fulfill it's purpose. Still wondering how and what kind of lightning to add to it. Hit me up with your ideas !
Beautiful work. Only strange bit I see is the OSB in the drawer, but maybe thats a thing people like now.
I'm an amateur wood worker, but a good electrician.
Id reccomend heavily 4k-5k colored lighting, with preference on the higher end. This is the best "white" light that accurately represents colors without adding tones.
As far as what type of lights and where, thats 100 percent ascetic which is crazy people land. Id do a 120v Edison base fixture on top with 3 bulbs, to give that "Hollywood makeup room" vibe. And maybe low voltage strip lights inside the shelving to edge light it... but keep in mind that the wires have to go somewhere and they will drastically qdd/detract from the quality of the build based on routing.
Better to design this element in the begging so you can route out channels and such easier to hide them.
Good luck!
This looks great. I really like the legs
