Bathroom - wooden countertop units with drawer - are they waterproof?

fraser

Hi,

Having had a wooden treated vanity unit in past house that swelled with water over time I am very wary of what seems to the only option for a vanity unit for a countertop basin.

we are looking at the duravit ketho

are these waterproof?

what are people experiences with having these wooden type vanity units in bathrooms? will they cause an issue? surely they would not sell them if they were not water resistant?

thanks

as they only give a 2 yr guarantee, id say they were no better than any other laminate unit/box.

coming round to think these warranties are pretty much worthless as I am sure they would also blame fitment as well as wear and tear from usage

looks like white ceramic is the only way forward
