Did the platform come with the vessel sink? Who is the manufacturer?

10 years ago

Have a very small powder room where this might work. Don't want to exceed 15" x 15" (l and w from corner). I am wondering if the base was custom made.

Thanks so much for the quick response. My powder room is very tiny (34x 64). We currently have a petite corner sink. I think this could work.

Our sinks were built in, but their cabinets were low and bending hurt my back. I determined the cabinets could be raised by adding a horizontal board just above the place at bottom that is indented for your toes. It added about five inches, bringing the counters up to the height of our kitchen counters. The board was stained to match the cabinet and is right under where the cabinet doors open. The line of the board is hidden by a length of wood trim. This raising up did require adding pipe to the water lines under the sinks to fill the pipe gap; moving the very large mirrors (no breaks or chips!) upward and moving the lighting above the mirrors up, as well. Took one day of work by carpenter and helper. Well worth the cost.

I don't think £9k is a small amount, but then having done many a kitchen as a property developer, we're used to shopping around. I'd buy Wickes ( January sale ), the cabinets are very well made and have a very good guarantee on them. The doors too. They have a good range with the exception possibly of the worktops. Personally I find, having tried probably all trade kitchens, magnet, howdens, ( get a trade kitchen fitter to cost it if you find one you like - they get huge discounts -seriously, up to 70-80% ), B&Q also have trade cards and there's always Homebase etc - The kitchens are lovely and I think there's just a load of snobbery around 'where you bought the kitchen from'. Get savvy and buy Trade! The worktops i'd to an independent. ( only if you can't find one in one of the above ) - otherwise you have the layout for two lots of labour. You don't need flashy Taps ( Taps are minefield ), Use the internet if you're budgeting! I wouldn't buy an American Fridge Freezer, if my daughter's is anything to go by then it's an oversized, unused food store! All it seems to do for her is encourage to buy more as it looks empty and then doesn't get used! Integrate.................better for the visuals especially in a small kitchen. If you want free standing, then buy a normal sized Fridge Freezer The last one we did, even Wickes could not beat the price of the appliances compared to Curry's. So shop online for those too and look for discount codes.

Sorry didn't mention it! I just wanted to share my experience with people from Houzz. I was in the renovation process with my wife and we spent a lot of money for the exterior job. My house is not the biggest one but it still cost a lot of money to make it look good, the roofing took me a good part of my money too, gardening was a little bit more expensive as I thought it would be. When we finished exterior work we still had to do the interior and here is where the war starts, you have to choose the wall painting, the flooring, bathroom, furniture and kitchen of course. Gladly the kitchen was done fast, we both found what we like the most, bespoke kitchens country style. The flooring took us a month, but gladly it was done good and I still love the floor heating system, the cellar is great too, it was done in 3 days. We still have to finish the bathroom, its almost done but we have to buy some small things, and we are waiting for the bedroom to be finished, mostly we are waiting for our KingSize Bed

It looks great Sam! I love the cabinet, and the flooring choice too, you’d never know it was lino. We have Lino in our utility room, its so easy to keep clean...lovely and warm and soft under bare feet too! You must be so pleased with it, everything works together really well.

For the wood base, do you know what type of wood it is? I assume it was stained. What type of sealer is on it to protect it from the water?

it is a very thick piece of oak, dark stained . then we added a coat of polyurethane (or similar uncolor product) to protect from water
