AIBU to think that not all well not even most teenage girls have a designated table for their beauty stuff? Dd's room is small and she has to make do with a tall Ikea malm chest of drawers to store her beauty products keep her mirror etc.
Dd14 is in a huge huff and says all her friends have dressing tables and it's an absolute embarrassment not have one and no, a drawer unit does not count apparently.

So do your teen girls have one? If not how do they possibly cope?

YABU - get the girl a dressing table and get rid of the drawers
YANBU - Malm drawers are ok for this

My daughter has one as she has the biggest room. I don't have one.

My teenagers have one in there room and in a honesty they use it al the time. Does it do my head in because it’s apparently perfectly disorganised which is just how they like it. They know where everything is, how I haven’t a clue 🤦🏻‍♀️ but it’s very well loved and used. We’ve just got an Ikea white one with a chair and a mirror on the wall. They have compartment boxes for the drawer and jars for the top for their brushes etc however like I said it is organised chaos. I personally think a dressing table isn’t a must but I do think it’s a nice thing to have for most teenage girls, I say girls because my boys wouldn’t want one x

Both of my girls have them and I've always had one

My 10 year old has one, my 12 year old doesn’t but she doesn’t want one. I wouldn’t put a desk and a dressing table in one room, that would be odd.
