Plumbing For Floating Bathroom Vanity

Hi,
We bought a couple of floating bathroom vanities, and are trying to figure out a solution for the plumbing, as there is only 4 inches of clearance in the back for the drawers, and the waste pipes are off center.

Is there anything wrong with what we have configured? Pics attached. We will have to saw off the waste pipe so as to get closer to the wall. We used a Snappy Trap, which has a flex pipe which is smooth on the inside.

Thanks.

P.S. Don't know why the last pic is rotated incorrectly.

- You don't want to use that flex drain pipe extension.
- You don't want to cut the drain pipe stub at the wall shorter.
- You don't want a couple of elbows in your drain under the sink.
Sounds to me you bought the wrong vanities, but if you insist on them and don't know how to make it work...you may need a plumber or watch some videos online.

Yep, guess we did buy the wrong vanities, didn't realize...but unfortunately, it's too late to return them. We have called plumbers...4 of them so far. 3 wanted to charge an exorbitant amount. One started on it, but what they did is not working. We thought maybe we could come up with a solution. Maybe not.

- Flex drain breeds bacteria and it stinks.
- Drain stub that is too short is hard to work with.
- Too many elbows in a drain line make cleaning the drain and running a snake almost impossible.
*If it were me, I would cut the wall to see if I can bring the drain to the center of the cabinet (in the wall)- the only place that has some working space.
*I'll pick up my commission check later.

This flex is smooth on the inside. Makes no difference?

Aside from the commission...

what should it cost to do it that way?

Thanks for your help.
