I recently have been shopping for new bathroom vanity furniture. I have gone to the big chain stores and have also done the specialty bathroom shops. There are many choices ranging from RTA bathroom vanities (RTA= Ready to Assemble) to the highest end luxury bathroom fixtures that are found in these expensive bathroom design studios. I also found that the internet sold many types of bathroom vanity furniture, from EBay to Craigslist and one hundred bathroom and kitchen websites in-between sold all types of bathroom vanities. I have learned many new pros and cons about all aspects of bathroom vanity furniture; here are a few of the highlights.

The first thing was that I became familiar with RTA products. As stated previously RTA bathroom vanities are the do-it-yourself type products that everyone is probably accustomed to, even if you're not aware of it. I say this because if you look around your house, you will probably see something that was pre-assembled and that was eventually assembled by you, hence the name ready to assemble. These products are everywhere - from the internet (look just do a search for RTA bathroom ...
... vanities) to the super hardware chain stores. There is nothing wrong with these products and I endorse them if your going the renovate your self type of route. The product is quality, as long as you stay away from the particle board RTA products; just remember to look for the solid wood fronts and more importantly, the paneled wood sides, no particle board.

However I wanted a unique piece of bathroom furniture, a bathroom vanity that stood out and was a center piece of my bathroom. This lead to my second finding; the high end bathroom vanity on the internet; it was almost by accident but it was a true find. I did an internet search and typed in the key words - bathroom vanity furniture (because I consider the best bathroom vanities to actually be pieces of furniture) and I came across some amazing stuff.

The prices seemed high so I rushed out to the local bathroom vanity furniture store; better known as a bathroom furniture super store and compared prices. I was amazed, the internet prices were much better, even with shipping costs included on top of the price. I was saving about twenty five percent (25%) by shopping online. I decided to check another big box retail lumber and building supply store and found the same higher prices.
I returned home and continued to shop online. I decided to shop around a little bit and started playing with more keywords when I did my search. I typed in high end vanities and unique bathroom vanities, more of the same came up and the prices were high in some places, but others were still lower than retail. I decided to call one of the high end bathroom vanity furniture sites and I talked to a representative.

After many questions and some reassurance I decided that buying a bathroom vanity online was the best way to go. I saved money, saved time and did not have to drive to a retail store. Besides saving gas money, I also had the product delivered right to my door. It was a pleasurable experience and it literally saved me hundreds of dollars on my new bathroom vanity furniture.
