Small, perfect.
I recently purchased the Chambly 24 in. W Vanity in Linen White with Ceramic Vanity Top in White and I could not be happier. The vanity is sleek and modern with a classic white color. The ceramic vanity top is intelligently designed with two sink bowls. The vanity is surprisingly roomy and perfect for any size bathroom. Installation was easy and no problems were incurred. My bathroom now looks beautiful and modern with this classic vanity and I could not be happier with my purchase! Highly recommend.

I was a little worried after reading a few reviews about the legs being a little fragile. This vanity is amazing end it was pretty easy to put together. It is so gorgeous in the bathroom. Very impressed and the sink looks very expensive especially having the Koehler name. Who would’ve thought it was so reasonable. Great job kohler

Mediocre factory machine work, but otherwise okay
I purchased the wood (NOT MDF! Yay!) cabinet at an excellent price in March at Home Depot and installed it this month. The screws provided for attaching the legs were too long and protrude into the cabinet if tightened correctly. Since these are the screws that came with the set, it can be assumed that the holes were incorrectly drilled. You won't see this imperfection unless you are looking inside the cabinet. The pictures included in this review show the screws pushing through the wood on the left side of the cabinet interior. Another detail: Be aware of how you mount the legs onto the cabinet. The Kohler instructions are lacking in the detail that leg brace assembly should go a certain direction so it does not look off-center from the cabinet. We did not realize we had misaligned the leg assembly on the right until the unit was braced to the wall with the sink and faucet connected to the vanity. The leg assembly was then switched around and now sits correctly under the cabinet. Still, I wish we knew ahead of time. I thought it might have been intentionally off center for the vanity bridge piece, if added to the unit. The cabinet fits well in the area, and coordinates nicely with the Kohler 24" medicine cabinet. This style was a change from our previous cracked sink MDF composition vanity cabinet purchased from a famous Swedish furniture store numerous years ago. For the faucet, we picked out a waterfall style 8" widespread design that worked well with the vanity unit. We will see how long it lasts. I am considering using some wood putty and repainting the floor of the interior of the cabinet to repair the damage from the screws.

    I bought this vanity for a 1/2 bath. I put it together and moved it to side. As I was moving it, one side of the vanity caught the edge of the cardboard box it came in and the legs literally ripped out of the body of the vanity! WHAT?! HOW?? I barley pushed it! The bottom is MDF/Fiber board and it is TOTAL GARGAGE!!!

      This is a great vanity! I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 becuase the holes for the faucet are set back a little too far; you have to carefully consider the type of faucet you install with it. Initially, we installed a typical faucet where the water comes out from below the spout but found that we either had to hit our hands on the bottom back of the sink while washing them or if we raised up higher in the sink, water would splash all over the top of the sink. We ended up replacing the faucet with one that pours water from above the spout. We also used a different door pull than the one that came with the vanity so it could be used to hold a hand towel and we placed a medium sized basket underneath the sink for extra bath towels.

        Yes I would recommend this product, buyer beware, because it is very attractive and I liked it more than most vanities that I considered. I would not recommend it because of how Kohler skimped on the strength of the legs. When I read reviews on this item, most people complained about how cheaply the attachment of the legs was configured. So I thought it was just a lot of people who did not know how to put together a piece of furniture. So I put the legs on and when I turned it upright I tilted it on two legs to position it and SURPRISE the two legs on the floor collapsed when the screws pulled out of the shelf they were attached. The shelf is some sort of particle board which is not strong enough to support legs. So rather than bring it back to HD I reattached the legs with good old fashioned nuts and bolts and attached two cross supports to strengthen the legs so they did not move side to side. Attached are photos. After all is said and done we are happy with this NOW.

          Very disappointed with Kohler. DON’T BUY THE CHAMBLY LINE OF PRODUCTS!!!!! The legs are anchored into MDF/Fiberboard??? Why such a weak construction? Right out of the box, I installed the legs, went to tip it over when the legs ripped out of the MDF and it crashed to the ground. Hoew could this be, I thought I bought one of the the best, you know Kohler??? Couldn’t wait to install the Chambly vanity into our bathroom. With limited time to install the vanity myself it looked like an easy job. Now I have the disruption of no sink in the bathroom until I figure out what to do. Yes, I could get a replacement or my money back but I need a sink NOW! The best thing for now is to install some wood on the bottom of the cabinet to reinforce the legs but I bought KOHLER because I wanted sturdy quality, neither of which I got with my $400 purchase. My advice, DON’T BUY THE CHAMBLY LINE OF PRODUCTS!!!!!!

            We were hit by Harvey. I had lots of time to search for just what I wanted. I really like the style of this vanity. On Style I give this 5 stars, but I'm disappointed on how it's been working out. First the some assembly required is NO joke. This is on the level of IKEA and don't forget your level. That alone didn't cause my rating to drop too much. The fact that I have only used the unit two months and it is already showing signs of damage really disappoints me. First, I put a warm cup of coffee on the marble and it left a ring that I can not remove. I was told that the finish was burnt from my cup by a friend. The coffee wasn't even that hot! Second, two adults use this bathroom. The front cabinet door has water damage from water splashing over and draining down the front onto the door and collecting there. See the pictures of two months of average use. I am very careful to not get water down the front of the sink now, but if it looks like this after two months, what can I expect after two years? :(

              I purchased this 24 inch set for our small half bathroom on the first floor. I give the ceramic top five stars. It is very nice. The cabinet is about what you should expect for the price. It's decent, so four stars. Overall, I think this set is a very good value and we are happy with it.

                A Beautiful Vanity, Fresh and Clean look! I like that its base is off the floor. I ordered it in May and when it arrived it was so pretty that I couldn't think of putting it in the bathroom with the old flooring, walls and mirrors. It turned into a full remodel, so I had to learn to lay tile before I could get the vanity installed. The finished product is very nice, but getting there was not very easy for my first time installing a vanity. The instructions are sparse for a person that doesn't know what they are doing. It also is assuming you either don't have a finished wall or that you need to remove the finished wall from behind the vanity to install a mounting bracket. We attached it to the studs directly. The basic vanity install instructions on Home Depot's website are easier to follow than the paper instructions that came with it. Be careful not to tip the unit or balance on the edge of the legs, they do not have a strong enough connection for pressure or weight at that angle. The sink is included and it's wide with a good depth. It's very heavy and has a smooth, shiny surface. It takes an 8" spread faucet and the holes are placed far enough away from the wall for easy cleaning. The hardware for the door can be adjusted in all directions and the door opens smooth and quiet. The door knob that came with it is very nice, solid black, but too dark for what I was wanting. I got some sea glass knobs from HD clearance and they look great. The vanity top is level, but the right side wall was built with a slight angle.. holding the level against the side showed it was not straight. This in turn made the right side bridge not level after attaching it to the vanity... otherwise (if we had leveled the bridge) it would have shown an uneven gap between the two parts. The tops on the bridges are stone with cream colors mixed in... we got lucky and one of them has a large dark veining that runs across 1/3 of it and I love that! Make sure you adjust the screw on each foot to the height needed (we had to put wedges under the vanity at the top of the front legs since they weren't making full contact on the floor). After we attached it to the wall, it pulled back and the feet came off the floor about 1/8 inch (our mistake). Overall I am very pleased with this vanity... It has a nice clean, fresh look.

                There are several defects with our 48 inch Kohler Chambly vanity. The product required assembly, and there was a defect in the positioning of the screw holes on the right hand side under the sink, so the legs do not line up as shown in the picture. Also, both marble surfaces look like they have been damaged possibly due to improper storage or moisture. Each surface on either side of the sink has a lighter colored square shaped discoloration in the middle. I would not recommend this product.

                  This is a really nice vanity. We installed this in our basement bathroom and it fit perfectly. Being a smaller bathroom, we opted for the 24" vanity. It comes mostly assembled. All you need to do is put the legs on it, flip the door handle and install the vanity top. It comes with a beautiful Kohler sink, in white. I used a nice bead of caulk and adhered the top to the vanity then I used two screws to attach it to the wall. From start to finish, not including installing the faucet, it took about 25 min. I recommend this to anyone remodeling a smaller bathroom.

                  I really like this vanity
                  I really like this vanity. It is simple yet stylish with a Shaker-inspired look. The KOHLER Chambly vanity cabinet comes with an integrated sink for a complete bathroom vanity. This vanity features Integrated vanity-top sink, three-way adjustable slow-close door hinges with 100-degree opening capability for easy cabinet access, a knob for decorative cabinet hardware, Detachable legs (required to be assembled upon installation). The KOHLER Chambly vanity is a DIY dream. It is easy to assemble and the access to the water drain and inlets are very spacious. Once I got the product unpackaged and laid out for assembly it took very little time or effort on my part. I had my own faucet and I made some minor modifications to my drain outlet. So not counting the drain modifications the vanity was installed and functioning in less than about 2 hrs. This is a great product from Kohler.

                  Vanity Legs Not Sturdy
                  My reservation about this vanity is the construction of the legs. You attach them with bolts from underneath with an allen wrench. The instructions state to not drag the vanity, but to pick it up and place it where it needs to go. This is extremely important. The area that the legs were attached to appeared to be particle board. When I was moving the vanity, the legs literally ripped away from the vanity after I had bolted them in. I didn't even have the sink installed yet. The bolt holes were destroyed and could not be reused. I ended up screwing the legs in with 3 deck screws instead. Make sure to have this vanity securely screwed to the studs in the wall. This should not be used as a freestanding cabinet that could be moved around. The legs are not sturdy enough. I feel that a mounting bracket should have been included with this vanity since the legs are sort of worthless. The back of the vanity is open as well so there would be no way to install a mounting bracket. I wouldn't install this as a floating vanity either. Not enough support. I do like the shaker cabinet design. I did not like the included sink because it was too plain. I attached my own counter and vessel sink and it worked fine for that. I did like the leg leveling system. I gave it three stars because it looks good and because it was my fault for dragging the vanity that it broke. However, I feel that there are design flaws and it shouldn't have broken in the first place.

                    3 years later and both cabinets are peeling. The sinks scratch if you blow on them the wrong way. Bought 2 inexpensive Glacier Bay vanity cabinets at same time as these and those still look new.

                      This vanity is most definitely not white. Because I’d painted my bathroom white, I ended up needing to paint the vanity. Luckily, it looked great after painting it (and luckily I already had the paint). If you’re okay with a cream colored vanity, go for it; if you’re looking for white, keep looking.
