It is the question that stops most bathroom vanity purchases halfway: does the sink actually come with it? The honest answer across the industry is that it depends on the listing, which is why so many buyers end up with a cabinet and no basin. This guide explains how vanities are sold, what a bathroom vanity with sink should include, and exactly what arrives in the crate when you order from us.
Does a bathroom vanity come with a sink?
Sometimes. Vanities are usually sold in one of three ways: cabinet only, cabinet with a countertop but no basin, or a complete vanity with sink included. The listing title is your clue, and the difference matters, because a cabinet-only unit leaves you to source a compatible top and basin yourself.
Every NOVA-ELEMENTS vanity is sold the third way. The basin is included and already fitted, and on several models it is integrated, meaning the counter and basin are one continuous piece with no rim or seam for water to collect in. That is the case on the 48-inch HAVANA, whose Corian basin and top are a single surface, and on the VEGAS. You never receive a cabinet and a separate box of parts to match up.
What is included with a NOVA-ELEMENTS bathroom vanity?
Every vanity arrives as a complete set: the cabinet, the countertop, the basin, and a matching LED mirror, all included in the price. It ships fully assembled, the drawers and doors run on DTC soft-close hardware, and the countertop is pre-drilled for a standard faucet.
That last point is the only exclusion worth noting. The faucet is not included, deliberately, so the finish stays your choice rather than ours. Everything else is accounted for before the crate leaves the warehouse. The BALI goes further and adds a matching side cabinet, and every model is covered by a one-year limited manufacturer warranty. You can see the full breakdown for any individual model on its product page or on our FAQ page.
Is the mirror included with the vanity?
Yes. Every NOVA-ELEMENTS vanity includes a matching LED mirror in the price, and mirrors are not sold separately. Your vanity arrives fully assembled with its mirror, so there is nothing extra to source. LED mirrors carry CE, SAA, or UL certification depending on the model.
This is unusual. Most listings described as a vanity with sink still stop at the basin and leave the mirror to you, which means a second purchase, a second delivery, and the risk that the finish or proportion does not match. Because ours are designed and shipped as a pair, the mirror is scaled to the cabinet and finished to match it. There is no separate mirror to order, and no mirror model sold on its own.
Do I need to buy a faucet separately?
Yes. The faucet is the one component not included, and the countertop arrives pre-drilled for a standard single-hole faucet so that fitting one is straightforward. Choosing it yourself lets you match the metal finish to the rest of your bathroom hardware.
If you would rather not have the holes pre-drilled, some collections can be ordered as a base only, without a top, so a fabricator can drill to your own specification. That is worth asking about before you order rather than after. Send us the model you are considering through the contact page and we will confirm what is possible for it.
What does "vanity cabinet only" mean?
It means you are buying the cabinet box alone, with no countertop and no basin. You then have to source a top that fits the cabinet's exact width and depth, choose a compatible basin, and usually pay a fabricator to cut and fit them. It is the cheapest line on a product page and rarely the cheapest outcome.
The risk is fit. A top has to match the cabinet's footprint and the basin's cutout has to match both, and a mismatch is discovered at installation, when it is expensive to fix. Buying a bathroom vanity with sink already fitted removes that whole category of problem, which matters more on a heavy, handcrafted piece that has been freighted across the country.
Is it better to buy a vanity with the sink included?
For most bathrooms, yes. A vanity with the sink included arrives as one engineered piece, so the basin, the cutout and the counter are guaranteed to fit each other and the whole set is covered by a single warranty. It also means one delivery instead of three, and no fabrication step in the middle of your renovation.
Buying separately makes sense in one situation: a custom project where you have a specific stone or basin in mind and a fabricator already involved. Outside that, matching parts from different suppliers usually costs more in time and risk than it saves. Browse the full vanities collection to see what a complete set includes.
Does the vanity arrive assembled?
Yes. Every vanity arrives fully assembled, with the basin and countertop already fitted and the hardware installed. Installation means mounting it, not building it. Floating models such as the TULUM secure into the wall studs at a countertop height of 32 to 36 inches.
Delivery is by LTL freight with complimentary shipping insurance, free across the contiguous 48 states, and includes a lift-gate service. Because it arrives assembled it also arrives heavy, so plan for help moving it inside and inspect the piece before signing the carrier's receipt. Our guide to choosing a vanity covers the rest of the decision.
