Full details

The HUDSON REED Fluted Wall Hung 2-Drawer Vanity and Mid-Edge Basin in Soft Black is designed for homeowners seeking a stylish and space-saving storage solution for contemporary bathrooms, particularly cloakrooms and en-suites. Its key benefit is the blend of Art Deco-inspired fluted design with modern functionality and a sleek soft black finish. A potential caveat is its compact 500mm width, which may be too small for larger bathrooms requiring extensive storage. This unit offers practical, soft-close drawer storage and a durable, easy-to-clean ceramic basin, all pre-assembled for straightforward installation.

FAQs

What is the exact width of this vanity unit?

The vanity unit has a width of 500mm.

Is the tap included with the basin?

No, the tap is not included. The basin is pre-drilled for a single-hole mixer tap, which must be purchased separately.

How do I clean the soft black finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners to protect the gloss finish.

Can this vanity unit be used in a larger bathroom?

While it can be used in any bathroom, its compact size is specifically optimized for smaller spaces like cloakrooms or en-suites. For larger bathrooms, you might consider multiple units or a larger vanity.

Does the unit come assembled?

Yes, the vanity unit and basin are supplied pre-assembled for straightforward installation.

What type of waste fitting should I use?

The basin is compatible with standard UK basin waste and overflow fittings.

Is the finish durable against moisture?

Yes, the unit is constructed from high-quality MDF with a durable, moisture-resistant gloss coating designed for bathroom environments.

Troubleshooting

Drawers not closing smoothly

Check for any obstructions within the drawer runners. Ensure the drawer is seated correctly on its runners and that nothing is impeding the soft-close mechanism.

Water pooling in the basin

Verify that the waste plug is seated correctly and that the overflow is not blocked. Ensure the basin waste is installed properly and draining efficiently.

Unit feels loose on the wall

Re-tighten the wall fixings. If the unit continues to feel unstable, the original fixings may not be appropriate for the wall type, or the wall itself may require reinforcement.

Scratches on the gloss finish

Minor scratches may be buffed out with a specialized plastic polish. Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials in the future.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This vanity unit is supplied pre-assembled, significantly simplifying the installation process. Wall mounting requires appropriate fixings suitable for your wall type (e.g., plasterboard, brick). Ensure the wall is capable of supporting the weight of the unit when loaded. The basin requires connection to a standard basin waste and overflow, and a single-hole tap (tap not included).

Compatibility:

  • Waste and Overflow: Compatible with standard UK basin waste and overflow fittings.
  • Plumbing: Standard UK plumbing connections are required for hot and cold water supply and waste.

Care:

  • Clean the vanity unit and basin with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can damage the gloss finish or ceramic.
  • Wipe away spills and water splashes promptly to prevent water ingress or staining.
  • For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a clean, soft cloth.
  • Periodically check that wall fixings remain secure.
