Duravit Fogo / Vero Hack?
I am in love with this Duravit Fogo vanity.
It's the right size, gorgeous real wood veneer and the price for the base is just over $500, which to me is a steal. However, the matching integrated sink/countertop, the Vero, is all porcelain (and nearly $1K).
My husband absolutely does not want a porcelain top (I don't love it either, but could live with it for the sake of being done searching for vanities). We are fine with a porcelain sink, but would want the top to be either marble, quartz, acrylic or similar.
So my question: Has anyone successful put a different top on the Duravit Fogo vanity? The main issue is that there is not room in the cabinet for an undermount sink, so it needs a thicker integrated top (about 5" from what I can tell). The best option I found was through Furniture Guild, which sells Vero compatible cabinets. However, they said they do not sell Fogo compatible tops.
I would also be very happy to hack the Villeroy and Boch Central Line vanity, which is nearly identical to the Fogo but a few inches deeper with a hidden drawer inside and a slightly higher price tag. Nevertheless, the issue with the counter top is the same.
We've looked at I think every other vanity option out there, and here are the only others we don't hate in our ~$1500 budget. Wall and floor tile are a dark greyish-brown and we will have a Tiffany blue accent tile in the niche.
Aqua Decor Maya (great price, however "wood" is laminate and we aren't able to see it in person so we are really nervous about the quality and look/color)
Wyndham Centra (real wood, but color is so grey it looks sort of fake in pictures, also haven't been able to find a local place to see in person, don't love the smaller drawers)
Madeli Bolano (we have seen in person and the hardware and veneer quality is low despite being the most expensive option, ehh on color with our tile, love the sink/top)
A local custom wall-mount vanity would be about $1200 for base only and take 4+ weeks, so a hacked top on the Duravit is a better option for us in terms of pricing and timing - if it's possible.
Thanks!!
