Vanity basin units

Hi all,

I'm looking to buy a new bathroom suite and really want one of the wide vanity basin units with drawers. Like this, for example.

However, I can't quite understand/see any info on where the pipes go. My pipes come up through the floor but would that mean cutting through the bottom drawer (I think the top one has a gap for the waste pipe anyway) or would they have to be chased into the wall first? Or do these units have a service gap like kitchen units?

Thanks in advance :)

    I got a smaller vanity unit from that site, the bottom drawer doesn't go all the way to the back of the uni so there's space for your pipes to come up inside he unit. As you mention the top drawer in mine is a U shape so there's a gap in the middle for the waster trap.

    Thank you very much, couldn't find that info anywhere. Even the customer service of the places that sell them! :)

    On with the planning then!
