I've noticed a bunch of new bathroom vanities up for grabs on Facebook Marketplace, and they're priced pretty low. I haven't checked them out in person yet, so I'm curious about what I should consider before deciding to buy one. What are the potential downsides?

True, a lot of bathroom vanities today are just cheap particle board. If water gets in, it can warp or ruin the entire thing. So, check for any signs of water damage when you look at them.
Most of these vanities are probably coming from liquidators, and the downside is they might be made from poor quality materials. If you're not spending a lot, like in the higher-end market, you're likely getting something that won't last long. I know a guy who picked one up recently and it works fine for him, but I couldn't handle that lack of quality.
