From the floor up: the parts list for a Galaxy Dove vanity on bun feet, and which foot goes with which hardware
Reviewed September 2026 · Captivating Cabinets
Two feet are listed and both are $42.90: GD TBF with a tapered profile, GD CBF with a cove. Neither screws into a cabinet. They fasten to a platform, the platform carries the vanity, and the vanity carries the top — so Galaxy Dove bun feet are the bottom line of a four-line parts list, and the mistake we see most is buying that bottom line twice. Here is the list in order, the height it adds up to, and a way of choosing between the two profiles by the hardware you have already picked for the doors.
The parts list for a footed 36-inch vanity, from the floor up
| Line | Part | Price | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 — feet | GD TBF or GD CBF, four of them | $171.60 | Only under a flat platform. Delete this line entirely if the platform code ends TF or CF. |
| 2 — platform | GD SPF V36 (shaker) or GD VPF V36 (Vera), flat | $253.50 | Sized to the vanity, never to the room. |
| 3 — vanity | GD VSB36-34 sink base | $490.75 | Or the 36″ sink-and-drawer combo, GD VSD36DL or DR, at $783.25. |
| 4 — top | From the fabricator | — | Templated only after lines 1 to 3 are standing in place. |
| Lines 1–3 together | $915.85 | Against $913.25 for the same vanity on a factory-footed GD SPTF V36. |
The $2.60 between the last two rows tells you what a footed platform is: the flat one with these feet already on it. So loose feet are for three situations — a flat platform you already own, a profile you want to swap, or a spare. If the platform on the quote ends TF or CF, this page has nothing to sell you. Those platforms live on the side panel (platform) page, under a title that means plinth.
One number to confirm: the listing never says whether the $42.90 line is a single foot or a set of four. We have priced four singles above; ask us what a line buys before the order goes in.
Taper or cove, chosen by the pull you already picked
Same price, same mounting, so decide by what is on the door. In Fabuwood's own description the taper is the contemporary foot — it narrows toward the floor the way a plain leg does — while the cove is the traditional one, curving inward the way case furniture does.
- Brass or bronze pulls: either foot works. The cove with brass is the painted-furniture look, and this off-white carries it more convincingly than a bright white does.
- Matte black pulls: taper only. Black hardware is the graphic, modern move that Dove can take and the beige Linen cannot, and a curved cove foot under black bar pulls looks like two different rooms.
- Nickel or chrome: taper. Cool metal wants the plainer foot.
- An onlay in the plan: choose feet or ornament, not both. Two ways of calling a vanity furniture is one too many.
What the feet add, and who checks it
Distributor listings give each foot as 4″ by 4″ by 4″. Put the roughly one-inch platform on top and the sum is the 5″ the footed assemblies are catalogued at. Under a 34½″ box plus a countertop, the deck lands close to 41″, which is not a height any bathroom vanity should finish at. We cannot verify which box Fabuwood designed these assemblies to sit under, so tell us which box, platform and top you are considering and we will check the sum against the spec book.
What you see under it
Feet trade the toe kick for four inches of visible floor. You end up standing an inch or two back from the bowl, which nobody notices at a bathroom vanity, and a mop gets under a vanity that has open floor beneath it, which everybody notices. In a small bath the floor running beneath the vanity makes the room read larger, and a vanity on legs photographs as furniture — an off-white one photographs as a white bathroom with softer edges, which is what a listing photo wants.
The colour question at floor level belongs to the platform, not the feet, and the platform page works through it: white tile keeps the plinth reading white, grey tile is fine on this finish, and only a cool bulb over a blue-white floor pushes it grey. Lead time runs 7 days to 3 weeks, pre-assembled, with the limited lifetime warranty. The boxes themselves are listed under Dove vanities and every accessory under the vanity accessories range.
Common questions
- Do Fabuwood bun feet attach to the cabinet?
- No. They fasten to a platform, the plinth listed under side panels in this range, and the vanity stands on the platform. The load passes down through the plinth to the feet instead of hanging from the cabinet floor.
- What is the full parts list for a vanity on feet?
- Four feet, a flat platform sized to the vanity, the vanity, and a top templated after the first three are standing. For a 36″ sink base that is $171.60 plus $253.50 plus $490.75, or $915.85 — within $3 of the factory-footed platform route.
- Should I use taper or cove feet with black hardware?
- Taper. Matte black pulls read modern, and this off-white carries them well; a curved cove foot under them reads as a different room. Cove belongs with brass or bronze.
- How much do four bun feet cost?
- $171.60 if the $42.90 listing is a single foot, which it does not state. Confirm with us what one line buys before ordering four.
- Does a footed platform already include the feet?
- Yes. Any platform code ending TF or CF ships with taper or cove feet fitted, and it costs within a few dollars of a flat platform plus four loose feet. Do not order both.
- How tall is a vanity with bun feet?
- Each foot is 4″; with the platform the footed assembly is catalogued at about 5″. Stack that under a 34½″ box and a top and the deck is close to 41″, so ask us to confirm the box-and-platform pairing before ordering.
