Saturday I started dragging the future bathroom cabinets into the house. There were two reasons for this; I need room in the garage to store pellets and I had already discovered that the cabinets were not polyurethaned to my satisfaction. So I moved the smaller cabinets into the basement and gave them another layer of poyl so they can stand up to a moist bathroom environment better.
When I decided to go ahead and bring in the big piece, the 36" vanity, I moved the smaller pieces to the craft room and finished them with a second coat of poly there. But, when I removed the vanity from the packaging, this is what I found.
The carton was not damaged so I believe that this happened at the manufacturer. Monday I called HD and they reordered the vanity. The original pieces took 5-6 weeks. I got a message Thursday that the replacement should only take 2 more weeks - so there is that. They will pick up the cracked piece when they deliver the new piece.
I guess it could be worse, I could actually have a contractor interested in doing my bathroom project and have it on their schedule.
Too bad that the atmosphere at the factory didn't encourage the person who did the damage to own up to it at the time. Could have saved a bunch of (inevitable) trouble for you and for the factory.

P.S. The doors look nice!

Still haven't heard word about the replacement vanity. Not that it makes much difference - will not be having the bathroom put together this year. Fortunately, I never have visitors, so no one will use it besides me. A good thing since it is open to the hallway.

They finally called me yesterday and the vanity is in. I won't be ablt to have them deliver it for a couple of weeks since I have to be here and they can't even give me a delivery time as broad as "morning" or "afternoon". Doesn't matter anyway, it could be next spring for all the good it will do me sitting around taking up room in the basement.
