[Vanity Review] 2020 Virtu USA Caroline Review

The Caroline Bathroom Vanity Collection by Virtu USA is a vanity that features many premium components to supplement its solid wood frame foundation. If you are looking for a vanity with exquisite design and artisan craftsmanship for your next bathroom renovation, consider the Caroline Collection.

Design

Shaker Design

The Caroline collection features shaker design on the doors. The recessed panels give it a more traditional look. Overall the cabinet is more of a transitional type of vanity which incorporates both modern and traditional style elements.

Freestanding

The Caroline collection is a freestanding vanity meaning that the cabinet can rest directly on the floor of your bathroom. This makes the Caroline collection easy to install compared to wall-mounted vanities and contributes to a more traditional style.

A Solid Foundation

Being one of the flagship collections from Virtu USA, the Caroline collection features premium hardware and construction that make this a high quality vanity.

• 2 Inch Solid Wood Frame – The Caroline collection features a 2 inch solid oak wood frame reinforced with corner brackets. This creates a strong, solid foundation.

• ½ Inch Hardwood Panels – Quality birch hardwood for all panels, doors and drawers.

• Heavy Duty Drawers – Not exclusive to the Caroline collection but a feature for all Virtu USA bathroom vanities. All drawers are pre-installed with heavy duty soft-closing rails. 

• All-Soft Closing – All doors and drawers are pre-installed with soft-closing hardware for Virtu USA cabinets.

• Partial Assembled Cabinet – Minimal assembly is required when installing this cabinet. The knobs and handles are the only things that need to be installed.

Dummy Drawers

While it is not necessarily a con, the Caroline collection features a dummy drawer below the sink. The dummy drawer is strictly an aesthetic feature. Dummy drawers exist in many different types of vanities because there is no room for a real drawer to be installed under the sink, since the plumbing will get in the way. This weakness is usually mitigated by having cabinet doors instead of a drawer in that area. If you are looking for a cabinet with no dummy drawer, look into the Caroline Avenue collection instead. This design features all the drawers at the bottom of the cabinet instead of the top. The designs are similar and you will have an additional drawer option.
