  Conventionally, there has been known a counter unit of a vanity type in which a counter is provided on both sides (or one side) of a wash bowl. In this case, in many cases, the counter is secured relatively wide so that cosmetics and towels for washing the face can be temporarily placed, and a drawer storage section is provided below the counter.

  In the conventional counter unit, since the counter is provided at almost the same height as the upper end of the wash bowl, the counter is easily affected by water splash from the wash bowl, and the counter may be left wet. Many. As a result, things that you do not want to wet, such as cosmetics, face-washing towels, and changing clothes when taking a bath, cannot be temporarily placed on the counter.

  Therefore, in order to make it difficult to be affected by water splash from the wash bowl, a configuration in which the counter is provided at a position substantially higher than the upper end of the wash bowl can be considered. When this configuration is adopted, the storage height of the drawer storage section below the counter is sufficiently large, and the mousse hairdressing and cosmetics that are relatively frequently used and relatively tall in the vanity stand are set up. Can be stored comfortably in the state.

  In this case, it is necessary to provide a partition plate so that relatively tall hair styling products and cosmetics stored in an upright state do not fall down due to the drawer operation of the storage unit. However, if a tall partition plate that extends over almost the entire storage height is provided as in a conventional drawer storage unit, the type can be determined quickly and correctly only with caps such as hairdressing and cosmetics. Can not.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and is provided on the lower side of the counter substantially higher than the upper end of the wash bowl, and a relatively tall object stored in a standing state is pulled out.

A partition plate having a height approximately half of the storage height is detachably provided inside the drawer storage portion.

  As a result, even if relatively long hair styling products and cosmetics are stored upright in the drawer storage section in the bathroom vanity table, the partition plate can be prevented from falling, and thus these relatively Tall objects will not fall over due to the pulling out action. In addition, the height of the partition plate is reduced to almost half of the storage height so that labels such as hairdressing and cosmetics can be easily seen from the outside. Etc. can be determined quickly and correctly.

  In addition, in this invention, it is preferable that a partition plate has an engaging part which can be engaged / disengaged to a pair of rail member extended front and back at intervals. By adopting this configuration, it is possible to realize a partition plate that should be detachably provided inside the drawer storage portion according to a relatively simple structure.
