Bedroom Dressing Tables

Frequently Asked Questions about Dressing Tables

What is the difference between a dressing table and a vanity table?

The terms are used interchangeably. Both refer to a bedroom table designed for getting ready, typically featuring a mirror and storage for makeup, skincare and accessories. Vanity table is more commonly used in the context of Hollywood-style or makeup-focused designs with lit mirrors, while dressing table is the more traditional British term.

Do dressing tables come with mirrors?

Most dressing tables at Rackhams include a mirror, either built in, attached or included as part of a set. Many feature LED-lit mirrors — including Hollywood bulb-surround styles and backlit vanity mirrors — while others include standard tilt mirrors or flip-up mirrors integrated into the table surface. Check individual product listings to confirm what is included.

Do dressing tables come with stools?

Many dressing tables at Rackhams are available as sets that include a matching stool. Stool sets are indicated in the product name and can also be filtered using the With Stool filter on the page. Stools are also available separately if you already have a table.

What size dressing table do I need?

This depends on the space available and how much storage you need. Compact or slimline dressing tables typically start from around 60-70cm wide and are suitable for smaller bedrooms or alcoves. Standard tables run from 80-100cm, while larger Hollywood-style or corner dressing tables can extend to 120cm or more. Width can be filtered on the page to narrow results by size.

What styles of dressing table are available?

The range at Rackhams includes Hollywood dressing tables with large LED-lit mirrors, modern minimalist vanity desks, corner dressing tables for space efficiency, traditional wooden dressing tables in oak and walnut, mirrored dressing tables and compact slimline designs. White is the most widely available finish, with black, grey, walnut and natural wood options also represented.
