Vanity brands - Wyndham, Design Element

11 years ago

We're remodeling 3 full and 1 half bath in our house and I'm on the hunt for some modern, good value vanity options.

I've found two manufacturers so far that seem difficult to view in person (carried mainly online via places like ModernBathrooms.com and Wayfair.com), but price and style is right.

They are Wyndham (www.wyndhamcollection.com/Bathroom-Vanities/) and Design Element (http://designelementusa.com/products/)

Does anyone have experience with these brands? As a point of reference on quality, I find Duravit vanities to feel too flimsy / poorly-constructed, but am impressed by Ikea's kitchen cabinet boxes.

Thanks in advance!

    I'm sorry I cannot add any content but I'm in the same boat and would love to hear the opinion of others also.

    Also looking at some vanities by Sagehill and Ronbow.

    Can anyone comment on Sagehill, Ronbow, Wyndham or Design Element?

    thanks!

    I just ordered one from Ronbow, have not received it yet, but all reviews online seem to be positive. DH was able to inspect one (not the one I ordered) at a high end bath showroom and was impressed with the quality.
    I've been researching vanities for over a month. I will let you know what I think of it when it arrives.

    @polly929 - did your Ronbow vanity come in yet?

    I was also able to see some Sagehill and Ronbow units at a local showroom and was also impressed by quality.

    Yes it came. It seems to be high quality, but I suspect there IS MDF in the construction. The specs all said it was birch. DH is not concerned but I'm annoyed to be honest. I could have ordered the Pottery Barn one for less money. I can't send it back at this point, so it will have to do.

    Many vanities that state they are all wood construction in fact use MDF. Some will be misleading by saying hard wood frame and front - meaning particle board sides. You have to contact the manufacturer and assertively ask whether there is any MDF or particle board anywhere in the cabinet.

    Just because you see MDF or particle board doesn't mean lesser quality. Sure all wood is nice and probably more expensive but lots of nice products use MDF or particle board. In fact, if you buy raised cabinets that are painted, then the raised area is usually MDF and it's harder and more durable than most standard wood used.

    I'm just worried because it is a main bathroom and with kids brushing teeth, and everything else my kids get into, and the humidity on the bathroom I'm worried it wouldn't hold up. But it seems to be made very well with soft close drawers and the construction seems solid.
    It was very difficult finding the size I wanted which was 42 inches and I wanted drawers not doors. Our bathroom is not that large but we currently have a freestanding sink with no counter and I wanted some counter space, but wanted the bottom open so the room wouldn't feel too crowded.

    Here is the one I ended up with, although I got it less for a New Year's Day sale.
