Designed for the pedestal basin
Most bathroom storage sits beside the basin or above it. This cabinet sits beneath it, which is where the space actually is. The pedestal cut-out is sized to fit around a standard basin pedestal, allowing the cabinet to enclose the area completely rather than leaving a gap on either side. The result is a freestanding unit that looks intentional rather than added on.
The 60cm overall width suits most bathroom configurations. The 30cm depth is proportionate to the basin footprint and does not extend into the floor area beyond it. At 60cm tall, the top of the cabinet sits flush with or slightly below a standard basin rim, depending on the installation, which keeps the visual line continuous.
Internal storage
The internal shelf divides the cabinet into two zones. Items used daily, hand soap refills, cotton rounds, spare toothpaste, sit on the upper section within easy reach when the door is open. Cleaning products, spare rolls, and less frequently needed items sit below. Nothing is stacked unnecessarily. Nothing requires reorganising to reach what you need.
The freestanding construction means no fixings are required. The cabinet stands in position, which suits rented bathrooms and cloakrooms where wall-mounting is not an option.
Bathroom environments and material choice
Bathrooms present specific material challenges that other rooms do not. Humidity from showers and baths, condensation on cold surfaces, and occasional water contact require materials that resist surface damage without specialist maintenance. See Flags for Review for the confirmed material specification of this product, which affects care instructions and long-term durability guidance.
What sets it apart
The majority of under sink bathroom cabinets are designed for vanity units, where the space below the basin is already enclosed and the cabinet is built in. Freestanding pedestal sink cabinets are a smaller category because they require the cut-out to accommodate the pedestal column, which varies in shape and width across manufacturers. Confirm compatibility with your specific pedestal before purchasing: see Flags for Review for cut-out dimensions.
Care
See Flags for Review for confirmed care instructions once material specification is known. In general: wipe with a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Do not use abrasive cleaners or leave standing water in contact with the surface.

FAQ
Will this cabinet fit my pedestal basin?
Compatibility depends on the width and depth of your specific basin pedestal. Standard UK pedestal basins vary: narrow pedestals run approximately 15 to 20cm wide, while broader models can reach 25cm or more. Measure your pedestal at its widest point and at floor level before purchasing. The cabinet’s pedestal cut-out dimensions are listed in the specifications above once confirmed. If your pedestal is unusually wide or has a non-standard profile, contact Gebenco before ordering.
Do I need to fix this cabinet to the wall?
No. The cabinet is freestanding and stands in position around the pedestal. No wall fixings are required, making it suitable for rented bathrooms and cloakrooms where drilling is restricted. Ensure the floor is level beneath the cabinet for stable positioning.
How many items does the internal shelf hold?
The internal shelf divides the cabinet into two storage zones. The upper zone suits daily-use items: toiletry bottles, refills, and bathroom essentials up to approximately 20cm tall, depending on shelf position. The lower zone accommodates cleaning products, spare items, and taller bottles. Exact shelf clearance heights are confirmed in the specifications above once reviewed.
Is this cabinet suitable for a cloakroom?
Yes. The 60cm width and 30cm depth suit cloakroom proportions, where the basin and pedestal are often the only plumbing fixtures. The freestanding design requires no additional plumbing access and no wall fixings. The concealed storage is particularly useful in cloakrooms, where the basin zone is visible to visitors and open storage creates visual clutter quickly.
What is the difference between an under sink bathroom cabinet and a pedestal sink cabinet?
An under sink bathroom cabinet is a broad category that includes cabinets designed for vanity units, where the basin sits on an enclosed plinth with open space beneath it. A pedestal sink cabinet is specifically designed for basin configurations where the basin is mounted on a column pedestal, leaving an open area at floor level on either side. This product includes a cut-out to accommodate the pedestal column, which standard under-sink cabinets do not have.
