kitchen cabinet for bathroom vanity?
Like to know if anyone has used kitchen cabinets for a bathroom vanity at a finished height of 36" and had problems with it size in the bathroom. I read another old post that said it was too big for her she was 5' 2" and so am I. Said getting close to the mirror was a problem. Anyone done this.
Thank you all for your insite. I was thinking of using kitchen cause months ago I had a design company come out and that is what he suggested using. I got rid of that group for other reasons and this is just another I didn't know about.

Keep looking at cabinets and vanity tops. We found a narrow top that allows me to get close to the mirror. Of course the bowl is small and you have to be careful what faucet you add. The cabinet can be cut down in back to be less wide, easy part. It’s the silly vanity that drove us nuts.
Extremely to deep for a bathroom. Will give everyone a problem even someone 5.8"
The height of the kitchen cabinet is not really the problem, but the depth can be problematic for some people. Most kitchen base cabinets are 24 inches deep, where bathroom cabinets can be 14, 16, 18", etc. If you use the kitchen cabinet, do you have a vanity ready for this? It would be a huge sink.
If you’re remodeling, I’d suggest going to check out samples of bathroom vanity cabinets. The depth of the vanity varies and cultured tops can be any size. They are always on sale at Home Depot. Consider something that is not deep and something you can live with.
Another option would be to consider a pedestal sink and these can be very shallow in depth. You should consider doing some customizing since you will be both using this. My wife is 5’3" using a pedestal sink and uses the mirror just fine. I had a mirror cabinet mounted 3" lower than standard and she’s happy with the results.
If you have that extra kitchen cabinet, don’t use it in the bathroom. It will work better in the garage. It will save you grief in the long run because as you get older, you won’t want to lean over the sink to get to the mirror.
it is up to you does the cabinet have a base?…..wall cabinets do not (kitchen)….floor cabinets do……look a 48" wide bath van…is 300-400 dollars plus counter….make due with what you can
