Pedestal sinks look great, but storage can be a real pain. We swapped ours in a small bathroom and ended up missing the cabinet space more than we thought. Had to get creative with shelves and baskets...just something to keep in mind.
Pedestal sinks do free up floor space nicely, especially in tight bathrooms. We switched to one and actually found it easier to keep clean. Storage is tricky, sure, but a slim wall cabinet solved that without cluttering things up too much. Worth considering if you're tight on space.
We swapped ours out a couple years back, and honestly, I have mixed feelings. Sure, it freed up space and cleaning around it is a breeze now, but I gotta say—installation was trickier than expected. Pedestal sinks can be a bit wobbly if not secured properly, and I've seen a few DIY jobs go sideways (literally). If you're going that route, make sure your wall can handle the mounting hardware. Learned that one the hard way...
We put one in last summer, and honestly, the hardest part for us was dealing with our old plumbing setup. Turns out older houses can throw some curveballs... But overall, no regrets—just measure everything twice and have extra patience ready.
We swapped ours out about two years ago, and I'd say the plumbing was definitely the trickiest part for us too. One thing I didn't think about beforehand was storage—pedestal sinks look great, but suddenly you realize you have nowhere to stash extra toilet paper or cleaning supplies. Ended up getting a small cabinet for the corner, so maybe consider your storage needs ahead of time.
Also, make sure you anchor it securely to the wall. Ours felt a bit wobbly at first, and with kids around, I wasn't taking any chances. A couple extra wall brackets made a huge difference. And yeah, measuring twice is solid advice—maybe even three times if you're paranoid like me, lol. Overall, though, no big regrets here either. It really opened up our tiny bathroom, and honestly, cleaning around it is way easier now. Just take your time, expect a few surprises, and you'll be fine.
