I want to install a pedestal sink, but I worry that I wont be able to access the pipes because of the pedestal in front of it ( I have to remove the whole sink). If I install a vanity I can repair pipes all the time.
Small bathroom vanities made of glass will look extremely regal and they will make your bathroom look clean with their clear or transparent look.
I've had both and while pedestals look great, they lack the storage you need in a bathroom so I'd go with a vanity for sure.
Pedestal sinks come in two pieces—the stand (pedestal) and the sink itself. The plumbing fits inside the pedestal, which is secured to the floor. The sink is mounted to the wall and also rests on the pedestal stand. Before you decide to purchase, here are some things to think about: Installing one is a little more difficult than a regular drop-in or wall-mount lavatory. Fitting the plumbing inside the pedestal can be close work. Also, matching the sink to the proper level on the wall and the exact height of the pedestal requires precise measurements. Decide whether you can live without the storage space of a vanity cabinet. Remember, to make room for the new ped lav, the counter top and cabinet are going away. Shelving or recessed medicine cabinets can compensate for some lost cabinet space. If you are removing an old vanity, the floor and wall will probably require some attention, and the water supply lines may have to be relocated As far as repairing the pipes is concerned I wouldn't worry too much as it isn't something that requires attention often. You should be able to go at least 10 years minimum before any maintenance is required unless there is an accident.
