Mirrored Vanity Table vs Glass Top Vanity: Which to Choose
A mirrored vanity table is covered in mirror panels for a glam, reflective look, while a glass top vanity has a clear glass surface over drawers and lights. Choose mirrored for a vintage, Hollywood bedroom look; choose glass top if you want a surface that wipes clean of makeup easily and shows off what is inside.

Mirrored vs glass top
What is a mirrored vanity table?
A mirrored vanity table has mirror glass fixed to its top, sides and drawer fronts. It bounces light around the room and makes a small space feel bigger. The trade-off is upkeep: every touch shows, and makeup spills and powder show on every reflective surface.
What is a glass top vanity?
A glass top vanity is a vanity desk with a glass surface. On some of ours, such as the Solara, the clear top shows the lit storage underneath, and the Astra, Halo Circle and Nova Circle add glass-front drawers. The glass wipes clean of foundation and powder, and most of our tops are tempered for strength.

Want the mirrored look on a glass top desk?
Add a lighted mirror. A Hollywood mirror on a glass top desk gives the same glam reflection without mirror panels on every surface. See every makeup vanity set with mirror and lights, or pair your own from our vanity mirrors with lights.

Questions
Is a glass top vanity durable?
Yes. Most of our tops are tempered glass, which is much stronger than ordinary glass, and every glass top wipes clean.
Do you sell mirrored vanity tables?
Not mirror-paneled ones. Our closest match is a glass top vanity desk with built-in lighting, paired with a lighted mirror.
Does a glass top vanity scratch?
Glass resists scratches better than painted wood, but grit can still mark it. Wipe it with a soft cloth and use a tray under heavy items.
