Where I'm from nearly all sinks have the taps integrated, a shame as I prefer this look. I made a budget version of this with an IKEA Bestå cabinet a while back. We have a wall mounted piedestal sink, so I searched to find a cabinet with just the right height, as I didn't want to move the sink. The Bestå has little height adjustable feet, and happened to be perfect. I just removed the ornamental piedestal and popped the Bestå underneath the sink, after making the circular cuts for the plumming- straight through top, shelves and bottom. This cabinet added some much needed out-of-sight storage. And it is laminated, so I didn't even do any waterproofing. At about the equivalent of 60 dollars I was pleased, and 2 years down the line it's still looking as new. I'm really into inexpensive and clever fixes, and this site is full of them!

And yes, we sanded and lacquered everything to keep it all water sealed! We also caulked the back of the vanity to the wall with a line of silicone sealant so water didn't collect or drip behind it. Hope it helps! xo, s

Did you cut out the base board where the vanity sits? Also, did you sand and lacquer the entire thing or just the top? Sorry to rip off the idea, but we've ordered this very nightstand and will be doing the same! However, we went with a frosted glass bowl and different faucet. I'll be sure to send you a picture. Thanks! ~Alan Hi guys,
