Hello everyone,

we are considering buying two base cabinets from the Godmorgon/Odensvik series for our two washbasins (Villeroy & Boch Subway: 800*470 mm and 600*470 mm):

- GODMORGON / ODENSVIK basin cabinet/2 drawers white
- GODMORGON / ODENSVIK basin cabinet/2 drawers white

Since it is a rental apartment, we do not want to drill holes in the bathroom.

Do you think the two cabinets can be used without wall mounting, that is, with feet underneath and set as high as possible so that the cabinet aligns with the washbasin?

Can the cabinet tip over if the drawers are fully extended in this case?
Is it possible to leave out the siphon of the cabinet so that you basically just slide the base cabinet under the washbasin?

Thanks in advance for your feedback. If it doesn’t work, do you know any alternatives for the specified washbasins? Unfortunately, we have not found any others that fit the sizes except for the expensive Villeroy & Boch original cabinets.

Hello,


So you want to tension the cabinet under the sink and thus prevent it from tipping together with the silicone sealing? Are the sinks already hanging? Holes are also needed for that, so the additional ones for the cabinet should not make much of a difference.
You don't have to use the siphon (this has nothing to do with whether it's signable or not), but a normally deep siphon could cause the upper drawer not to be installed because it conflicts with the siphon. What to consider when installing the siphon is nicely shown in the instructions, take a look at them. Whether the IKEA siphon fits with Villeroy & Boch is another question. Possibly Villeroy & Boch uses a standard siphon and has cutouts in the upper drawer?
Regards,

Hello,

thank you, exactly, the tipping should then be prevented by resting against the washbasin (provided the feet really stay at the set length and don’t have any play, drilling is unfortunately not an option). The washbasin is already hanging, yes. I would have to take a look at the siphons of the Ikea shelf and the Villeroy & Boch washbasin. Can the top drawer be cut out if necessary so that it fits the standard siphon?

Hello, the siphon matching GODMORGON is not sold separately at IKEA. You only get it with the sink. But there are also space-saving siphons available in the plumbing trade. Sawing out the drawer would be quite a bit of a job. You have to check if the connecting strip at the top back might not collide with parts of the sink. Somehow, GODMORGON should be secured against shifting, even if it's just some easily removable adhesive putty between the cabinet and the sink. There are some really great products for that nowadays.
