Vigo Double Contemporary Vanity Set

We loved this vanity from the moment we saw it. We knew it was shallow and that the storage would be limited and made accomodations in the design of the bathroom by adding flush niches in the walls between the studs and surrounded them with wood to compliment the vanity. The minimal vanity top also presents space limitations and we made more accomodations for countertop items that we would have left out to charge (like an oversized razor w/base & elec. toothbrush that now reside in a niche where an additional outlet was installed). Our contractors had no problem with the installation - there is an extra three inches of wall space behind the vanity because they had to build the wall out to hide pipes that were at odd angles and they reinforced the wall to build a brace/support to mount the unit. They were also able to run all the plumbing back thru the unit and maximize the space under the cabinets. One surprise was the blumotion drawers and doors - a very very nice feature that prevents the drawers and drawers from slamming shut; they close on their own once they reach an inch or two of the opening. However, the handles of the doors are centered on the cabinet - aesthetically pleasing but awkward to open. The action is very tight on the doors & drawers, something we hope will loosen a bit with time, they do not open easily -- the sleek handles do not lend to an easy grip and if you are in a hurry it can be a little frustrating. The delivery was confusing. It was delivered as "four boxes" - it was four crates with five boxes and the description the delivery company had was six boxes and the paperwork said 'one box'. We were missing the two faucets that were supposed to be included but did not know it until four or five weeks into the project. To complete the project I went out and purchased faucets because delivery date for the faucets was going to prolong the completion of the project. Overstock was very helpful and did send replacement faucets which we'll keep as spares (probably better than the ones I purchased - my choice was limited to one). Overall, the pieces are beautiful and make a gorgeous bathroom - we are very happy with the service and the product.

this vanity is very nice for the price... i was looking at old receipts, and my husband and i spent over $450 on just one faucet for our guestroom bath, and the faucets that came with this set are just as beautiful! since this is a wall mounted unit, you may want to reinforce your walls to carry it... we had to open the wall to split our plumbing and my husband added some studs for the cabinet to screw into, but that was the hardest part of the installation, everything else was a breeze, there really isn't much to put together. our only regret is that the handles on the vanity aren't chrome for some reason, the faucets are a beautiful chrome and the handles don't match. we hope to replace them someday. We loved this vanity so much and the price was so good, we bought a second one for our upstairs bath.

Before purchasing, I read the reviews which gave me the Heads Up to potential issues with this beautiful vanity. We are remodeling and purchased this to arrive long before we actually start work. The plumber was able to look at the hardware which came with the unit before providing a bid so there were no questions in the middle of work. The European P-traps that came with the unit are very slick and cool but may or may not meet regional codes. Sizes are metric which calls for careful adaptation to US ( Very slightly smaller than 1-1/4" US standard) Thanks to the previous reviews I knew to look for these issues ahead of the work. Otherwise, the unit shipped beautifully, was delivered quickly and in good condition and is of outstanding quality.
