Introduction to the dressing table

A dressing table is a piece of furniture used for makeup and storing skincare products. In modern usage, it generally refers to furniture with dressing functions. The standard size is approximately 1500mm in height and 700-1200mm in width, commonly available in large, medium, and small sizes. Designs include freestanding and modular styles. The tabletop must accommodate cosmetics, and a folding mirror is recommended for multi-angle observation of makeup. Painted engineered wood is preferred for easy cleaning.

During the Wanli era of the Ming Dynasty, Empress Dowager Cixi used the ruins of a dressing table at Qilipo to perform her Buddhist rituals, creating the scenic view of "dressing up under the moon." Modern dressing tables are equipped with categorized storage systems, allowing for separate management of makeup, skincare products, and nail tools. Non-woven fabric drawers help organize small items. When using a dressing table, it's important to store perfumes away from light, clean makeup tools regularly, and avoid placing mirrors directly opposite doors or other entrances.
