Step 2: Place the New Vanity

With the help of at least one other person, pick up the vanity and carefully lower it down into place, ensuring the drain pipe and hot and cold water pipes fit properly up into the holes in the vanity.

Step 3: Attach the Vanity to the Wall

After the vanity is down and your pipes are in place, check your vanity for level (Image 1) and shim as necessary (Image 2). Once your vanity is level, locate the studs and attach the vanity to the studs using a screwdriver and screws (Images 3 and 4).
