You can find dozens of knock-offs of this vanity these days. Our local Lowes carries one in stock, for one example.

I'm not at all sure there's anything special (in any good way, at least) about the quality of PB vanities vs the other knock-offs (and they're knocking off RH, anyway).

Oh, I should have said I have seen the PB one installed in someone's home. Obviously it was none of my business to be opening drawers, so I can't comment on that, but the finish was perhaps a bit more even than the Lowes version, but definitely not a thousand dollars nicer.

I would imagine the Home Depot/Home Decorators version is similar, too.

You might find a local cabinet maker who can build it for you and give you better quality for a bit less money.

They can convert desks, dressers,buffets, etc. to hold sinks and it can be done for less than $200! I can't imagine paying that price for this piece.

To answer your actual question, I think they are charging $1,000 for the actual cabinet, which is reasonable, and another $1,000 for the Potter Barn name.

Yes, I did by a Pottery Barn console for the bathroom. It is not the one you are looking to purchase. I bought mine 2 years ago, sight unseen-there was nothing else that was a knock off or similar so I bought what I liked. Anyhow for the master bath it did not warp (yet), and appears to be holding up quite well for something that is made out of some mystery wood. Honestly, the price may have been about $1,800 for a 36 inch console-- but it did include the marble top, which was one less thing I had to contend with purchasing (and measuring and choosing-(I'm lazy)). I am not a great Pottery Barn lover, but sometimes they have a designed item I need and want, so I get it.

Thanks, everyone.

I don't have time to look for a desk or dresser the right size to be converted. Plus this is a DIY project and we're not experienced enough to do that.

I did look at Home Depot. They didn't have anything I liked in the size I need. I will check out Lowes.

Anyone else have this actual sink console? Thanks again!

For Lowes, at least around here, they have very different stuff on display depending on the store. My nearest store is in a rather basic neighborhood so we didn't have that or the fancy new Allen + Roth vanities on display, but I happened to stop in a store that was in a more upscale area and they had all the popular styles.

I went to Lowes today and didn't see anything I liked. There was one similar to the PB one but shorter. Too short for me. Plus the counter was a beige marble. Need white.

They did have the Allen + Roth vanities but not one in this style and I was not impressed with the quality. The displays were in very bad shape (chipped) and I could see the glue on the outside of the exposed shelf units.

So does anyone know where else to look for something similar to the Pottery Barn vanity? We want something that is off the floor for a more airy look but not those modern wall mounted kind. I didn't think this would be so hard!

Thanks for any help.

Costco.com have a good range of similar vanities. Your local Costco Warehouse may also have some and at even better prices. The quality is usually very good and you can always return the item to your local warehouse if you aren't happy. Their return policies are unbeatable in my experience!

Try lowes online, not just in person. They have several pottery barn knock offs. The stuff in the actual lowes stores are pretty bland in my opinion. :)

What a surprise to see this post pop up again!

I still haven't purchased a vanity. In fact, soon after posting this, DD got engaged, and well, the bathroom remodel came to a schreeching halt. Paying for wedding became #1 priority.

Also, realized the PB vanity would not work for me. My plumbing comes out of floor, not wall. Not willing to move plumbing, so that eliminated PB vanity and ones of that style. Do not want to see pipe and don't want to cut hole in shelf.

Thanks for that link, Kristen, but those don't work for me (even if I could move plumbing). I need something preferably 50 inches with single sink. 60 inch is too long and has double sink. 36 inch is too small. Would go with 48 inch (which is more standard) if it's all I can find and it's a reasonable price), but prefer 50 inches.
The tile was all purchased before engagement.

Anyway, not sure when bathroom will get completed. Perhaps not until after wedding (June 2013). We'll see...

If I were going to spend that much on a sink console, I would consider it an investment piece. While PB's styling might look nice, the type of materials and finishes typically seen with their wood furniture don't wear well.

I second Costco.
Also, see below.

I have always loved this vanity and was very disappointed when I saw it at an open house. the drawer quality was not very good.

I have the Roth and Allen one in our basement. it's fine for occasional use but I'm not sure how well it would hold up in the master.

We ended up ordering furniture style vanities through our kitchen cabinet supplier. they do make a vanity in this style. It won't be cheaper but the quality is much better than PB. I've linked it below. I would go to several local kitchen and bath stores and see what you find.

Much better plan for that kind of money. And you've got the plumber on top of it all when replacement time comes.
