There are seemingly endless choices available for bathroom sinks, vanities and cabinets. You can spend $50 for an inexpensive wall hung sink or upward of $5,000 for a furniture quality cabinet vanity. Some types of sinks are self contained, others must be installed in or on a countertop, and some sinks are mounted in a piece of cabinetry. There is no one best style of bathroom vanity, and many options exist because of the wide variety of situations presented by bathroom designs.
