We ordered our bathroom vanity from Max Furniture online, but it looks like their website is under construction right now. I would keep trying as they seemed to have a decent variety. An alternative is to order semi-custom cabinets online and have someone assemble and install them for you, then order the sink top of your choosing from a local store.

Here are a couple others I ran across...

Kraftmaid or Diamond cabinets from HD or Lowes are not custom cabinets, they are semi custom because they are sections that you put together. Below are pullouts from Kraftmaid, one is a regular pullout and one is an appliance pullout. Just pick out a vanity base and add the pullouts. You should price this out in comparison with a custom made vanity.

Kim and Pamal66, thank you for your ideas. Yes, I had gotten a quote on Kraftmaid and was surprised at how much it cost to buy separate cabinet bases to create the configuration I want.

I like the design above, how it has drawers on top on each side and then the pullout. To me, it seems like pullouts make so much sense in the bathroom that there would be plenty in the cheaper pre-made cabinets. But when I mentioned this to an interior designer, she’d never heard of it. When I asked what most people did with their extra shampoo bottles etc, she said they either use a deep drawer or...most people have a dedicated linen closet, which I am missing in my little bungalow.

Are these premade vanities even decent quality? I saw that some of them are MDF. So one reason for the higher price (or custom or semi-custom) may be due to the all-plywood construction etc.

Thanks again and I’m interested if anyone else has other thoughts?

Lots on Wayfair. https://www.wayfair.com/home-improvement/sb2/56-60-single-vanity-bases-c527056-a71407~263507-a71408~263514.html

Fuzzy, yes, there are a lot of long vanities but I haven’t found any with the configuration I want, with the tall pullouts like the photo I posted. (similar to what some people have in the kitchen; like what pamal66 posted above). Have you found that? That’s what I;m looking for. Everything I see is either a bank of drawers or a door that flips open to fixed shelves. Thanks.

Ikea!! You’ll have to put it all together but isn’t too bad. The drawers are by far the most annoying to build. I did one pull out in the center of the sinks with drawer banks on the sides.

Kim, I just popped over to Ikea and could not find any style that had the pullouts, like the picture shows below. Do you remember the model name or ?

Here's one but it's only 30" high. https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S39214793/

katin, thanks. Yeah, 30" isn't high enough and I guess I hoped to find a complete bath vanity. Maybe this animal doesn't exist... thanks though! ;)

I love the Godmorgon from Ikea all drawers and so nice to organize

Go to the kitchen dept and build it there.

What Kim said. ^^^^ I did my vanity out of kitchen base cabinets to get the configuration I wanted. They turned my face frame upside down to put the drawer on the bottom for extra storage. Kitchen showrooms have much better prices than Home Depot or Lowe's.

Have you considered installing pullout drawers?

Here's one but it's only 30" high.

30" is the height of the cabinet only. To which you add toe kick and countertop.

It is also a kitchen pullout and is 24" deep so may be too deep for a bathroom vanity. Most vanities are more shallow than kitchen cabinets.

Rev-a-Shelf makes pullouts for vanities that are 19" deep.

artistsharonva and ci_lantro, thanks for all your info. Super helpful.

kim, yes, I've seen those pull out drawers. To me me the pull out sides seem better--no bending and easier access. I threw out my back last fall gardening and realized how much bending I do, without thinking. I'm healed now but it reminded me that both my parents had back pain in their later years, so I'm trying to design to reduce bending if that happens to me.

BTW, I have a 1940s bungalow, so design-wise I'm looking for something that fits with the era of the house (some of the Ikea stuff feels too modern in my mind).

Drawers are super-useful. What's not so useful is the big cupboard under the sink itself -- that's where you put the extra shampoo and other tall things, as well as your spare towels. Almost anything else you'd want is easier to get out of a shallowish drawer.

This is how mine turned out. I did a 12” bank of drawers on each end, 24” sink bases and a 15” pull out in the center. But you can design whatever configuration will fit your space. I got a prefab piece of quartz from a local slab yard and had a fabricator trim it up and cut the holes. It was more effort but saved a ton of $$.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I'm wondering, am I off-based thinking that tall pullout is cool esp. when topped by a shallow drawer? To me it seems like the best of both worlds, easy access in the drawer and then easy storage for taller stuff I use daily, like mouthwash and body lotion. But...no one seems to have this or even wish they had it so...maybe I'm missing something or ? These pullouts seem popular for kitchens so I guess I thought they would good in bathrooms too. Maybe I'm wrong?

I love the pull out in the bathroom. It holds all the tall stuff like mouthwash and my husbands shaving cream, all the sunscreen, etc. we don’t have medicine cabinets so this has been incredible storage and it holds a ton. My bank of drawers has my hair stuff, make up, nail polish, etc. and my husbands drawers are mostly empty because he prefers the pull out.

Thanks Kim Q. Super helpful. I'm guessing your vanity was custom? Was it $$$ or ...worth it (and you saved a bunch w/ a slab, maybe enough to offset the extra cost of a custom vanity?)

Standard

Kitchen cabinets are 24" deep 34.5" tall 36" height with countertop

Vanity cabinets are 21" deep 33" tall

34.5" height with countertop

Vanity cabinets usually cost less.

Vanity cabinets come in either a 21" or 18" depth. They are either 34 1/2", 32" or 31 1/2" tall without the counter top depending on the manufacturer .

@girl_wonder - Custom from Ikea... so cheap and in stock. I designed it on their online designer tool and then just went in and picked it up. The cabinets were $1100 for 5 pieces, it's an 8' wall, and then I spent $750 on the white quartz (product and fabrication). I built the Ikea pieces and my dad (who is a GC) installed everything. It was the least expensive component to the whole remodel.

@Kim--wow! thanks

A lot of people are going to 36" high vanities at full 24" depth for the extra storage space and the ease of not having to bend over so far. Of course, it depends on whether or not you have the room in your bathroom do to a full 24" deep.

Having too tall of a vanity is no fun either.

I'm 5'3 I prefer standard vanity height of 33" (36" with countertop)

I remember trying a kitchen height bathroom vanity on vacation. It wasn't as comfortable. The worse one I used was at a hotel. Kitchen height + a tall vessel. I wasn't able to bend forward& wash my face.

It really depends on user's height.

Help!! Bathroom vanity height

I'm finally moving forward with this project (6+ month delay getting the plans approved--oy! Then I decided to scale back part of the project). Anyway, getting back to the bathroom vanity.... I will have a 4.5' long vanity. So if I have 24" for the sink, that gives me 30" to play with, so 15" on each side. I'm thinking of having each side have a shallow draw on top and pullouts on the bottom. And if I can swing it, a drawer under the sink. Thoughts?

ETA: the other option, I guess, is to have a bank of drawers on one side and the pull out on the other. I have seen where someone did custom and trimmed the pullout to match the drawer fronts.

Try Barker cabinets they can reasonably build anything you want. To save money have them build it in a size where a prefabbed vanity top will fit. By the way you can convert any door into a pull out as you have pictured. The hinges are removed and the door is mounted onto the pullout. Obvious forethought and ordering it with this in mind will result in a better end product.

Barker can build anything you want. The pullouts add up as they are about $250 each.

By the way the best thing for a bad spine is to actually bend and flex it daily. Its lifting heavy weight that would cause a problem. Drawers will function exactly as a pull out will as the pullout will have different height shelfs just like the drawers could be stacked requiring the same bending to get to the lowest one.

@wannabath (first, I love your name! I wannabath, too). Thanks for your comments. Interesting. Now I'm wondering why I am so set on having pull-outs vs. drawers. For me, I want to store tall items. Also, my drawers have turned into black holes. I think even if they were neatly filled with shampoo (etc) bottles, I'd be looking down at the tops of the bottles, vs. looking at the sides, and being able to see everything that's there. Hmmm....maybe I'm fooling myself.
