A huge one is kind of a pain in the ass. Depending on the user's approval, I wonder if you could get away with splitting it into multiple panels to be mounted side by side vs a single panel. This might fly especially if you go with something that has vanity lights built in.

It's kinda nuts. For instance on Home Depot, at 6 ft, you can get 72" x 80" mirror doors for like <$400. A 71" x 36" vanity can be between $1-2K easily.

40" x 36" LED vanities can be had for <$400 on a few websites. I'd honestly wonder if you can get two and put them side by side in a his/her type of arrangement for far cheaper. Also consider if you could downgrade it further if you install some sort of mirror nearby that can allow negate the needs of a gigantic vanity in the bathroom (ie: mirror door(s) or large mirror on wall somewhere).

I mean, a bathroom vanity isn't going to be great for full body review anyways. The sinks and cabinets get in the way. A 6 ft vertical mirror somewhere else would work far better. I think one idea I've seen was someone putting a mirror door on their shower.

Still though, I'd make sure the vanity was as big as possible within a budget you are comfortable with. I wouldn't pay $1-2K for a single 6 ft bathroom vanity. Within that same budget, I'd maybe consider a good value 4-5ft vanity and maybe a mirror door for the shower that is big enough for head to toe? Don't go too small for a bathroom vanity for a ensuite sized bathroom though (ie: <4ft). For a few hundred bucks difference, it horribly cheapens the look of the bathroom IMO no matter the trim level for the rest of the bathroom. I've seen it a few times in Air BnB.
