Most homebuyers these days are looking for vanities that hit a comfortable height and have quartz countertops. Be aware that a full slab must be purchased even for small vanities, so a fabricated top may better suit a smaller vanity that include the countertop, faucet, and sink. When making choices, consider the paint colors, tile and flooring. The fixture might look pretty but not fit your style and functionality in your home. Learn the functions of the piece before you get your heart set on the design, look and feel.
