Unfinished Vanity Cabinets

Unfinished Vanity Cabinets – American Made

All-Wood Construction | Built in Louisiana

Our unfinished vanity cabinets are built for homeowners, contractors, remodelers, and designers who want the flexibility to create a custom bathroom without paying for a factory-applied finish.

Built in Louisiana, every cabinet features solid maple face frames, maple plywood recessed center panels, and birch plywood cabinet boxes. Whether you plan to paint, stain, or apply a clear finish, unfinished maple gives you complete control over the final appearance of your vanity.

If you're still deciding which finish is right for your project, our Cabinet Finishing Guide for Unfinished Maple Cabinets explains the differences between painting, staining, and clear-coating unfinished maple.

All vanity cabinets include finished ends, soft-close hinges, soft-close drawer glides, and all-wood construction designed for years of everyday use.

Why Choose Unfinished Vanity Cabinets?

Many homeowners choose unfinished vanity cabinets because they want a bathroom that doesn't look like every other remodel.

Unfinished maple allows you to match existing trim, coordinate with custom countertops, choose any paint color, or highlight the natural beauty of real wood with a stain or clear finish.

Unlike many imported cabinets that rely on particle board or MDF, our vanity cabinets are built using plywood cabinet boxes and hardwood components for greater long-term durability in bathroom environments.

Whether you're remodeling a guest bathroom, updating a primary suite, or building a new home, unfinished vanity cabinets give you the freedom to create a bathroom that fits your style instead of settling for a limited selection of factory colors.

Build a Vanity That Fits Your Bathroom

Most bathroom vanities are built by combining multiple cabinets rather than purchasing one oversized cabinet.

A vanity sink base provides the space needed for the sink and plumbing, while vanity drawer base cabinets add organized storage for toiletries, grooming supplies, hair tools, cosmetics, and other everyday essentials.

By combining different cabinet sizes and configurations, you can build a vanity that fits your available wall space, plumbing locations, storage needs, and overall bathroom layout.

Choosing Cabinets for a Single Vanity

The best vanity layout depends on how the bathroom will be used.

For a guest bathroom or powder room with approximately 36 inches of available space, a single 36-inch vanity sink base is often a practical solution because storage demands are typically lower.

For a primary bathroom used every day, we often recommend pairing a 24-inch vanity sink base with a 12-inch vanity drawer base.

Although the sink cabinet is narrower, the added drawer base provides much more convenient storage for the items you reach for every morning, including toiletries, grooming supplies, and personal care products.

The drawer base can be installed on either the left or right side of the sink base depending on the bathroom layout and homeowner preference.

If you're planning your bathroom layout, our How to Measure for Cabinets guide explains how to measure for both single and double vanity installations before placing your order.

Planning a Double Vanity

Double vanities are typically created by combining multiple cabinets rather than using one large cabinet.

Before selecting cabinet sizes, verify that the bathroom has plumbing for two separate sinks. The plumbing layout determines where each vanity sink base can be installed.

Our smallest vanity sink base cabinet is 24 inches wide, allowing you to build a variety of double vanity configurations depending on your available space.

One of the most common layouts we recommend is:

Vanity Sink Base | Vanity Drawer Base | Vanity Sink Base

Because vanity sink bases are designed to accommodate plumbing, they do not provide usable drawer storage beneath the sink. Placing a vanity drawer base between the two sink cabinets creates convenient storage that both people can easily reach for everyday items.

Additional drawer base cabinets can also be added when the room layout allows, giving you even more organized storage without changing the overall design of the vanity.

Plan Around the Entire Bathroom

Choosing the right vanity isn't just about cabinet width.

Before ordering, consider how the vanity will work with the toilet, shower, doors, mirrors, lighting, electrical outlets, and surrounding walls.

One of the most common planning mistakes is selecting a vanity that's too large for the available space around the toilet. Leaving adequate clearance helps the bathroom feel more comfortable while making it easier to move throughout the room.

We also recommend confirming the locations of the plumbing before finalizing your cabinet selection.

For complete measuring instructions and planning recommendations, read our How to Measure for Cabinets guide before ordering.

Measure Countertops After Installation

Countertops should always be measured after the vanity cabinets have been assembled, installed, leveled, and permanently secured.

Waiting until the cabinets are in their final position allows the countertop fabricator to create an accurate template that accounts for wall irregularities and the exact cabinet layout.

Measuring from cabinet specifications alone can lead to unnecessary fitting problems because very few bathroom walls are perfectly straight.

Our Cabinet Installation Tips and Professional Advice guide includes additional installation recommendations to help prepare your vanity for countertop templating and final installation.

Can These Cabinets Be Used as Floating Vanities?

No. These vanity cabinets are designed as traditional floor-mounted cabinets.

Floating vanities require a completely different cabinet construction because the cabinet, countertop, sink, and daily use must all be supported by the wall framing. They are engineered with substantial structural reinforcement that standard floor-mounted cabinets do not have.

Attempting to convert a floor-mounted vanity cabinet into a floating vanity would require extensive modifications, so we recommend selecting cabinetry specifically designed for floating installations if that is the look you want to achieve.

Built with Real Wood Construction

Every unfinished vanity cabinet is built in Louisiana using quality hardwood materials selected for long-term durability.

Each cabinet features:

• Solid maple hardwood face frames

• Solid maple Shaker doors and drawer fronts

• Maple plywood recessed center panels

• Birch plywood cabinet boxes

• Soft-close concealed hinges

• Soft-close drawer glides

• Finished cabinet ends

• American-style framed construction

• Partial-overlay doors and drawer fronts

• Pocket-screw assembly

Unlike many imported cabinets, we do not use particle board, MDF, or HDF in the cabinet construction.

Bathrooms naturally experience higher humidity than most rooms in the home, making quality cabinet construction even more important for long-term performance.

Protecting Wood Cabinets in a Bathroom

Any wood cabinet benefits from proper bathroom ventilation.

Running an exhaust fan during and after showers helps reduce excess humidity, protecting the cabinet finish while extending the life of the cabinetry.

Although all-wood plywood construction generally performs better than particle board in humid environments, no cabinet should be considered waterproof. Applying a quality paint, stain, or clear finish to the cabinet exterior before installation provides an added layer of protection for everyday bathroom use.

Cabinet interiors already have a clear protective finish and should not be painted or stained.

If you're finishing the cabinets yourself, our Cabinet Finishing Guide for Unfinished Maple Cabinets explains how to properly prepare unfinished maple for paint, stain, or a natural clear finish.

Paint, Stain, or Clear-Coat Your Vanity

One of the biggest advantages of unfinished maple is the flexibility to create a bathroom that reflects your personal style.

Many homeowners choose unfinished vanity cabinets because they want to:

• Match existing trim or millwork

• Coordinate with custom countertops

• Choose a custom paint color

• Apply a natural clear finish that showcases the beauty of real maple

• Create a stained wood vanity that complements other wood finishes in the home

Maple's smooth, tight grain makes it an excellent choice for painted finishes and clear natural finishes. If you plan to stain the wood, we recommend using an appropriate wood conditioner or sealer before staining to help reduce blotching and achieve a more consistent appearance.

Faster Ready-to-Assemble Assembly

These Ready-to-Assemble (RTA) vanity cabinets use a pocket-screw assembly system designed to simplify assembly while creating a strong, accurately aligned cabinet.

Rather than relying primarily on cam locks and connector pins, cabinet components are precision cut, pre-drilled, and assembled using pocket screws.

Benefits include:

• Faster assembly

• Strong, rigid cabinet construction

• Easier alignment during assembly

• Simplified installation

• Durable long-term performance

Doors arrive pre-hung, and all cabinet parts are clearly labeled to make assembly easier for both homeowners and professional installers.

Before beginning your project, download the appropriate Assembly Manual for your cabinet and review our Cabinet Installation Tips and Professional Advice guide to help make installation go as smoothly as possible.
