I installed the smaller version of the IKEA Hemnes about 2 years ago. Still looks new. The sink top feels great and cleans nicely since it is all porcelain.

The biggest trouble we had with it is that the plumbing for the drain is very unique (needed for the large drawers) and can be difficult to retrofit into existing drains.

r/HomeImprovement on Reddit: Ikea bathroom vanity - durable over the long term?
January 31, 2018 -

I'm looking into slowly updating my 1957 blue bathroom in my home. One thing I'd like to get out of there ASAP is the old, original vanity with blue sink. (Half of the vanity underneath is actually a hamper, so it doesn't have great storage. It's also been painted over multiple times.)

We have a large vanity space, around 51" or so. I am exploring options to replace the vanity, but vanities of this size (mostly looking at 48" for price points) are quite expensive ($1,000+).

Has anyone installed an Ikea vanity at least 2+ years ago, and can speak to the results of how well it holds up? I worry about the quality, especially because our bathroom doesn't currently have a fan/vent, and the window is also original to the home so there is a lot of moisture that collects there (no screen, and we have cats, so we can't really leave it open more than a tiny crack). I am not sure if the fiberboard of the Ikea vanity would hold up well in this type of environment. We want to install a fan long term, but can't afford to do so right now.

For reference, I'm considering an Ikea vanity such as this one, vs. a vanity from Lowes (which is made of real wood & "wood veneer construction"). Thanks for any input.

are you my twin from another dimension? We actually had a veneer vanity from Lowes for a few years. It did not hold up well and we tossed it at the 6 year mark. chips and chunks missing. hardware that wouldnt stay together. garbage for the price we paid. we replaced it about a year ago with a similar design from ikea to what you linked. ours is 48" but just has 2 long drawers instead of 4 small ones. So far it has withstood the abuse from 3 children and 2 adults. At first i thought the no back legs thing was weird, but it worked very well since you dont have to contend with the floor trim. The drawers are long in my set, so they can seem a little iffy when you open with one drawer pull instead of two. But otherwise the drawers are fairly solid. Comes with all the hardware and pipes. luckily it also comes with a flexible trap piece, since it didnt line up great with the pipes in the space we had. My only real complaint with it is the drain plunger is cheap and doesnt give much clearance for the water to drain. its either open or closed. no inbetween. it does its job so i cant complain much. My bathroom seem similar to yours as well. No vent, just 1 small window that no one ever seems to open when they shower. Exterior on the wood is thick. feels nice and sturdy. no issues with warping or swelling of any kind. Overall very happy. will buy again when it comes time.
