Top 5 Things to Know About Buying Bathroom Vanities
Updating your bathroom starts with the right vanity — but shopping for one can be trickier than it looks. At CRW, we make the process easier by keeping vanities in stock and ready for you to see in person. Here are the top five things to know before you shop:
1. Most Stores Don’t Stock Vanities — CRW Does
In big box stores, vanities are usually special-order items, which means you can’t see them in person until after you’ve already purchased. At CRW, we always have vanities in stock and on the floor, so you can see the style, color, and quality before you buy.
2. Bring Your Measurements With You
Before you visit, measure your bathroom space — width, depth, and height. Knowing these numbers helps you avoid surprises and ensures your vanity fits perfectly. Pro tip: don’t forget to check where your plumbing sits, as that can affect your options.
3. Know the Style You Want: To the Floor vs. Open Base
Some vanities extend all the way down to the floor, creating a solid, furniture-style look. Others have space at the bottom, which can make your bathroom feel more open and airy. Think about your style preference (and cleaning preferences!) before you shop.
4. Storage Is Everything
Beyond looks, think about drawers, shelves, and cabinets. Do you need hidden storage for toiletries, or open shelving for baskets and towels? Vanities vary a lot in storage layout, so it’s important to match function to your lifestyle.
5. Don’t Forget Countertops and Sinks
Some vanities come with a countertop and sink included, while others are sold as the base only. At CRW, you can browse both options in person and see exactly what you’re getting — no guesswork.
✅ Takeaway: At CRW, you don’t have to buy blind. With bathroom vanities in stock and on display, plus knowledgeable staff to answer questions, you’ll leave with confidence — and the perfect fit for your bathroom.
