Looking for granite vanity tops online? Can anyone help?

8 years ago

I just purchased a 72" double vanity for our basement bathroom renovation. I am now having a hard time finding a black granite double bowl vanity top(like pictured in 2nd photo. Looking to find a reasonably priced one without going to a local countertop shop. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

What's holding you back from buying local? I would be afraid of the counter cracking during shipping if bought online. Local stone yards sometimes have remnant pieces that are discounted. But with you needing two sink cutouts, there's some work to be done on the fabricating side (work = $$). I have a 72" vanity alcove. Everything online I found for the countertop was 73" (because the top usually hangs slightly over the sides of the vanity) but in my case, my vanity is between two walls so I had to go local to find exactly a 72" top. Granite was about $800, Quartz was $1050. Both of those prices were for remnants. Cambria quoted me $1600! NO WAY was I paying that. Good luck! HomeDepot has tops but I don't know if they offer what you're looking for. I'd suggest looking local.

I forgot to add, where I live (STL), we have local stores that sell home products that are discounted, and I've seen tops w/ sink cutouts that are ready to go - buy off the shelf and take home that day. 30" sink top $200 and lower for certain granite. I know I saw some 72" tops but they didn't fit my design, but they were much cheaper then going thru the stone yard/fabricator (I'm thinking $400-$600 if I recall correctly).

We just finished remodeling the kid's bath. I ordered the vanity top from e-counters.com and I could not be happier. It's Blanco Maple silestone with a Kohler Caxton undermount sink. They frequently have 20% off sales and the sink and shipping were included. Total cost was right around $800 for a 56" top and sidesplash. The only worrisome part is that you have to give them the measurements so make sure you measure carefully. Here is a link that might be useful: E-Counters website

I bought two antique sideboards on ebay to convert into bathroom vanities. Both had marble tops. The more expensive one of the 2 got here in absolutely perfect condition, it was extremely well packaged. The other one arrived with the marble top broken, but it was the fault of the seller for not packing it well enough. It all comes down to the seller, and their feedback. My personal feeling is I don't buy things from sellers with less than 99.5% feedback, unless either the negs are more than a year old, or it's one or two negs from a relatively new seller. On the other hand, the second vanity I bought came from a fairly new seller with 100% positive, he just didn't have a clue how to pack something to be shipped to Hawaii. But since I got the piece for only $400 including shipping (birdseye maple french commode with bronze fittings), I didn't complain. :) The carpenters made a new wood top for it, and nobody knows the difference. Here's my $200 (plus $200 for shipping) ebay steal:

fwiw...some cheapie hints... Home Depot online can be accessed through EBates, which gives a little rebate for the referral. Go to Ebates first (have to register), then go to HD. Some of the other online kitchen stuff companies are also available through the Ebates internal referral service. I got a $35 refund check from them one month. I wish I had known about Ebates before I spent big bucks on two cast iron sinks and two faucets through HDepot online. Look for online codes and/or holiday discounts from the various vendors. You'd be surprised what are considered "holidays" by the online companies. Mayday might be a 10% off day, that kind of thing. I know that "Black Friday" after Thanksgiving was a good discount day (actually the entire weekend and the Monday afterward) and even April Fool's Day had a discount for some vendors. Often the home web page for a company has today's discount code listed on it. I've sometimes emailed the company on the "contact us" and asked point-blank, "Is there a discount today or in the next week which I need to type in when I buy online?" Often they give me the info. Or they tell me to register for their email newsletter so I can snag the upcoming code for the next "sale." At least that tells me that there is a sale coming up.

If you don't love it, keep looking. I can't judge the color of the cabinets with the stone because they aren't in the same picture. You really need to see a sample of the stone with the door samples in your kitchen to see how they play off each other. My monitor is showing your cream cabinet as yellow with green undertones. You should love your choice, not be freaked out by it. Keep looking. :)

I am totally opposed to buying local, I just though maybe we could find something more cost effective buying online. You have a very good point though!!! Thank you! :)

I do a lot of online shopping but for some things local is better. I wouldn't risk shopping online and delivery for something like this. That after support if any issues is also important. Online isn't always cheaper. When looking at lights, I am getting better prices at a lighting store plus I had their help with selection.

I bought tons of stuff online for my last two bathroom remodels, but I would never consider buying a granite top that way. I want to see the stone in person and see the quality of the fabricator's work in person. I also know that it would be a nightmare to try to resolve a problem with an online stone item. In addition to large shipping charges on something that could weigh 200+ pounds, a piece with cutouts like that would be very dicey to ship and cracking probability would be high. I have had good luck and reasonable prices with remnants at my local stone fabricator.

Buying granite online is worse than buying a mail order spouse sight and personality unseen. More expensive too.
