I'm on the hunt for bathroom vanities that are affordable, but I want to steer clear of the usual suspects like Home Depot, Lowe's, and Wayfair. Ideally, I'm looking for something made from plywood instead of MDF. It would be great to find a model that's at least 36" tall with skinny shelving (sometimes called a "linen closet"), if that helps! Any suggestions?

Just a thought, but ordering a custom vanity through Home Depot could work too. I’ve done it for two bathrooms and was satisfied with the materials. Just make sure to specify plywood to avoid any mix-ups!
Have you considered looking at Floor and Decor? They also have local plumbing and tile supply shops that might sell floor models at discounted prices. Plus, building your own can be a fun project and save you a lot of cash. Lots of YouTube tutorials out there if you want to give it a shot!
One good option is to look for a local cabinet shop. They can vary a lot in pricing, so it's important to find one that doesn't overcharge. I’ve been using a dealer who only marks up 12%, which is way better than the 70-120% I found elsewhere. They've got connections with several manufacturers, each offering different quality levels, so they can really help you out.
If you're not in a hurry, check if there's a Habitat for Humanity ReStore near you. They often have good-quality vanities for a steal! Also, browsing local listings on services like Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist can yield some great finds at low prices.

Yeah, I’ve had some luck with Facebook Marketplace, scored a nice vanity for cheap!
