Didn't you say your sinks will be wall-mounted? Are there even 160cm base cabinets that fit under wall-mounted sinks? The pictures shown here depict countertop sinks, don't they?

Then the OP should show us the corresponding washbasins.

Oh, we have already done that too and have an approximate idea of how it should look:

Just in terms of style... colors, etc. do not fit. We are primarily interested in personal experience reports from users here :).

As far as I have understood, you can also easily use a base cabinet for vessel sinks under a wall-hung sink. Only that the sinks are additionally attached to the wall and not just resting on the cabinet. The Collaro series from VuB, for example.

Oh, yes, that really depends on the sink. Most "wall-mounted" sinks that are included as standard by some construction companies are not very modern in design and are not flat underneath. They often look like this or something similar: Of course, a base cabinet can fit underneath, but in my opinion, it looks less stylish. You also have to be careful about the clearances. Instead of a normal siphon like this, you would need a space-saving siphon / furniture siphon, and the sinks must be mounted on the wall with such clearances that they fit into the recesses of the washstand.

In the standard version, it is also not included with us. The Collaro ground to 60 cm costs, for example, an additional 300 euros. According to our general contractor, planning the distances is not an issue. We just need to tell him which base cabinet we want to build underneath later, and then everything will be planned accordingly. Let's hope it works out that way... We could also get the base cabinet from the general contractor, but it costs over 1000 euros more there... We'd rather source and install it ourselves ;)

I can understand that. We also haven’t found any vanity furniture from any general contractor that we liked. If I wanted to be economical, I would take Godmorgon from the blue Swedish store again. They are unbeatable in terms of price-performance ratio. They are great inside, have a good layout, and are stable.
This time we spent a bit more, but we are also sourcing the furniture ourselves, and have now ordered 2 vanities completely made of solid oak, for about 1400€. You could easily pay that amount in a specialist shop / with a construction company for foil-coated chipboard furniture.
