I buy Duravit. Everything they make is excellent.

The Porsche 911 of bathroom vanities.

We remodeled our house about 2018 or so. We bought a couple bathroom vanities from Wayfair. They've held up fine, but the sink drain stoppers have all failed/frozen. But the nicest one we bought was from Signature Hardware (solid wood cabinetry, not MDF; substantial hardware/faucets). I think they're based out of KY or something like that, and (back then) they didn't charge for any out-of-state sales tax.

Not to bogart this thread but where do those commercial - unblockable - privy’s come from?
The ones from HD and Lowe’s just aren’t the same.

Bought a built in undermount sink / fitted granite countertop deal from HD for the downstairs half bath. Dark wood, no back so it was simple to install.

Was about 2x the price of anything else in there but it’s held up pretty damn well all things considered. May be worth a look.

Edit: it’s a bit like this, so you know what I’m on about - https://www.homedepot.com/p/30-in-W-x-21-5-in-D-x-21-5-in-H-Single-Bathroom-Vanity-in-Teak-with-White-Marble-Vanity-Top-and-White-Basin-TH30030Teak/313708946

I went into Lowes and ordered their better quality vanity. We were very happy with it.
They make good stuff and cheap stuff.
With the kitchen we had them made custom and they were way, way, more expensive.
Can't see doing this online.

Hmm. I don't know the answer to your question. That must be a current style thing. I actually preferred having legs to keep the cabinet off the ground. Being in a bathroom, with possible close proximity to a shower or tub that might flood, I tried to minimize any sort of wood (well, MDF) contact with the flooded ground.

A number of my customers have ordered their vanities from Wayfair. I was surprised at the quality of most of them. Very well made.

Thank you all .... I've been searching ... and Bill .... I don't want a Porsche Vanity with leg$ either .

I may opt for a local big box purchase of pieces... better quality on cabinet, then a top & sink .... although an assembled one would be nice.

I won't be doing the install, but assume that's a non-issue for a real pro of all trades....

Need it within a week or so .... local box or online.

Thanks a bunch!

Now turn on the heat ....

That is all

Working on a remodel now. We got ours from Fergusons. I feel like it is pretty good quality.

30" vanities

Thank you all ... again ! It's raining all morning ... but a trip to Lowes & HD then I will prolly order from Wayfair later .... a much nicer and higher priced, but half off...

A LOT more vanity for just a bit more ....

Bathroom remodel reminds me of a 911 refre$h from decades ago.... it didn't start out this way

Thanks!

If you want something unique, consider getting a vanity with no top and finding a remnant at a stone place. They can then template it with an undermount sink of your choosing.
