Easier to reach, easier to clean

There are plenty of good things about wall mounted bathroom vanities. And as with anything green, there are varying shades. Here’s what’s good about getting the cabinet up off the floor:

• less material is used to construct the cabinet itself: it’s not as tall, and there’s no legs or base, which saves material on both counts
• it maximizes usable space with the cabinet. Take a look at any cabinet in your house. There is a huge amount of unused space above whatever is sitting on the floor of the cabinet. Why not shorten it up and save some cost?
• no base means no toe kick, no worrying about where big feet will go while standing at the sink.
• it makes it easy to clean the entire floor
• if it’s a small bathroom, there’s space under the vanity for a waste can
• in the unthinkable event of a water overflow, everything in the vanity, as well as the vanity itself is out of harm’s way. Unless it’s a really REALLY big overflow, and in that case, you might want to move to the mountains.
