Check if folder based on variables exists

I'm creating a bash script, but it does not seem to check if a folder exists, when it's based on variables. Although the folder does exists, when I cd into it.

#!/usr/bin/env bash

VAR1="/Users/nameuserhere/Desktop/";
VAR2=`date "+%Y-%m-%d"`;
VAR3="$VAR1$VAR2";

echo "folder path: $VAR3";

if [[ -f "$VAR3" ]]
then
  echo "this/not does exists"
else
  echo "this/not does not exist"
fi

Use -d, as -f check if it's a file:

    -f FILE        True if file exists and is a regular file
