Thank you for your post. We do indicate, in the specification portion of the on-line listing, that the item requires assembly. This is further reinforced by the stated carton dimensions and the PDF of the assembly manual. While the item could be sent fully assembled, it would require truck delivery which is expensive and inconvenient as the large box would be dropped at the curb. We are sorry for the inconvenience and apologize for your disappointment. We would encourage you to return the vanity as we do not want any customer either unhappy or dissatisfied with their purchase. Thank you.
