Amature hour here!
My first real woodworking project was this vanity I crafted for my newly remodeled powder room. I probably could have saved a ton of money buying something from a big box store but I really wanted to create this on my own after re-doing the bathroom by myself. I have limited skills I'm truly a beginner, but YouTube, this site, and various other free resources were quite useful.
I had a few challenges because I learned the hard way about screws meant for hard wood versus soft wood, the difficulty of pocket screws in tight places, the amount of wood that is taken off by a saw blade (if that makes sense), and various other challenges. The final challenge turned out that the pipes for the sink were too low. I had to remove the vanity and saw off the legs which messed up the symmetrical top and bottom design from routing the edges of the legs.
In spite of some flaws, it is sturdy and square.
I used oak and the top and shelves are made from oak plywood with an oak veneer banding around the edges.
