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. |
