Galaxy Horizon Vanity Accessories

Forty-two of the 49 listings are one part, a platform the vanity stands on, repeated across two profiles, three foot options and seven sizes. The other seven are genuinely different. Laid out against a remodel, they fall like this:

Two notes on names before you shop. The listings titled “Side Panel” are platforms, not end panels; none of them covers an exposed cabinet side. And the listing titled “Garbage Pull-Out” is the 12″ full-door grooming unit, not a bin. The code tells you more than the title in both cases. Fillers, scribe and finished ends are not in this department at all; they sit with the cabinet accessories and the decorative accessories.

Three decisions belong on the drawing, before any wall comes down. The first is whether the vanity keeps its built-in toe kick or stands on a platform. A platform turns a cabinet into something that looks like a piece of furniture, and it is a design choice rather than a storage one. Flat versions start at $217.75 for the 24″ size and run to $321.75 at 60″; versions with turned feet already fitted run $386.75 to $490.75, and the tall-pantry TP1821 size is $409.50 flat or $578.50 footed. The SP and VP spellings of each size cost the same.

It has to be decided now because a platform raises the whole vanity, and with it the countertop. The box is 34″ tall; the platform adds its own height underneath, and Fabuwood does not publish that height on the listing, so ask us for it before the drawing is final. It changes where the basin sits, where the mirror hangs and, if the drain stub is set high, whether the trap still lands where you planned it.

The second decision is the onlay, GH VDO at $425.75, a carved piece applied to a door. Our advice is to use one, on one door, in a room where nothing else is decorative. The third is simply to put every finished part on the same order as the cabinets: platforms, feet and the onlay are stained parts, and a stain varies a little from one finishing run to the next. Fabuwood says as much in its spec book. Parts that arrive in the same shipment as the boxes they sit beside are the best match you will get.

Three parts need a conversation with a trade while the walls are still open. Miss it and the fix means opening a finished wall, re-tiling or moving a drain, which is where the real money goes on a bathroom job.

Tile before cabinets is the usual order in a bathroom, and it matters for a platform. The platform should sit on the finished floor, level, with the vanity on top of it. If the floor falls toward a drain, as many bathroom floors do, the installer shims the platform, not the cabinet, so the vanity stays square and the doors hang true. A vanity that stays on its own toe kick needs nothing extra at this stage.

Loose bun feet, GH TBF taper and GH CBF cove at $42.90 each, belong to this stage too. They are for a flat platform, to give it feet after the fact, and the listings say so: “for platform”. They are not for standing a cabinet directly on the floor. If you want feet from the start, the footed platforms already have them fitted, and that is simpler than buying a flat platform plus four feet.

The onlay goes on here as well, glued to the door before the doors are hung, on a bench and not on a ladder. On a stain the installer should line its grain up with the door’s grain if the two show different directions; ask the installer to look before gluing, because it cannot be moved afterwards.

The countertop fabricator templates after the cabinets are set. If there is a platform under the vanity, it must be in place at the templating visit, or the fabricator is measuring a cabinet that will later be higher. Say so when you book the appointment. This is the most common platform mistake we see, and it is fully avoidable.

Then the plumber comes back to fit the basin, the tap and the trap. This is when the U-shaped unit and the organizer are fitted and tested. Ask the plumber to open and close the pull-out with the water running and check nothing touches: a trap nut that rubs a runner now becomes a leak later. If something is close, adjust the pipework rather than the pull-out.

GH VASR-30, $240.50, is a rack that mounts on the back of a door in a 30″ vanity and holds a hair dryer and a straightener. It is the only part in this department that can be added after the bathroom is finished, with no trade involved. That makes it the right part to wait on. Live in the bathroom for a month, see where the hair tools end up, and buy the rack if they end up on the counter.

Pick the door with care. It should be the door that opens into clear floor, away from the toilet, and the rack takes some depth from the shelf behind it, so check that what you store there still fits. The rack page has the details.

Each page below takes one part and works through the fit checks and the questions for the trade involved. For the cabinets themselves, see the vanities page; for the colour, the kitchen side of the range and how this stain behaves in different light, see the collection page. If you want the whole bathroom drawn with each of these steps already on it, send us the measurements; a designer replies within one business day and the full design and quote follow within 24 to 48 hours.
