Ikea also has kitchen countertops… mostly the same design. Ikea makes it very easy for you. And the hardware store is full of wood-look countertops ;)

I still have a few questions about the procedure, which I currently find a bit more difficult to imagine:

We currently have 2 individual wall-mounted countertop washbasins.

Our already 2 individual pre-assembled Godmorgon vanity cabinets are already underneath, open :D

We would like a continuous approximately 160cm wide countertop above - of course, everything should then be mounted on the wall and flush with the washbasins.

So:

1. Precise measuring of the basin cutout is important in order to cut the countertop accordingly (2 cutouts for the washbasins).

2. If the countertop is not attached to the wall with brackets (which I actually do not want to do, because I would prefer to screw the countertop only to the vanity cabinets), how should I best proceed?

--> Mount the countertop directly on the vanity and lift everything flush with the washbasin, mark the drill holes and then attach it at the end?
--> Sounds like a 4-person effort to me?

It is certainly easier with a mounting of the countertop on the wall with brackets and subsequent installation of the individual vanity cabinets on the wall (we do not want to do that, because we already have to drill enough holes in porcelain stoneware... the fewer the better/easier).

Am I missing something here? How did you proceed in this regard?

Why should the basin be cut out of the countertop at all, or why should it be made so precisely? The washbasin “sits” on top of the countertop - thus I would basically only have to ensure that there is enough space for the siphon. >Ultimately, I do not have to inset the washbasin into the countertop, do I? Do I even need a cutout for the basins?

This washbasin is already mounted on the wall.

I would have said the same. Recently, we installed 2x 60cm Godmorgon and 1x 80cm Godmorgon. However, without a countertop, but directly on the washbasin cabinet. I would actually do it so that I first attach the countertop to the wall with brackets, but until the cabinets are mounted, I would support the front with a post or something else. Then attach the cabinets individually just under the countertop. IKEA also has mounting rails where you can put in as many screws as you want and then hang the cabinet on the rail. I only used the 4 (8) screws with the supplied brackets. You just need good anchors and sufficiently long screws. Then theoretically the 8 mounting points can hold 320 kg in drywall walls. With the right tile drill bit, the holes shouldn't be a problem.

Hello ,

can you please tell me the distance between the top drill hole of the wall mounting of Godmorgon and the upper edge of the washbasin?
I can't find the measurement in the assembly instructions from Ikea.

Thank you very much

Phew, there are drawers in front now... I unfortunately don't remember anymore. I think about 4.5 cm. Unfortunately, I have little inclination to check now.
