Solid Wood
Wood has been a part of human bathrooms for ages
and it has served numerous purposes. Of late,
people use it in the form of bathroom vanities.
Solid wood is really strong and durable and can
offer your bathroom vanity a really cool
appearance.
However, you must also know that solid wood
expands and shrinks based on the level of
humidity in the bathroom. But if you can control
the humidity level, you can do well enough with
solid wood.

Plywood
Have you ever thought about plywood being your
bathroom vanity material? Well, plywood has
evolved as a popular material in terms of
bathroom vanities and it is good enough for those
who wish to get a blend of quality and
affordability.
When you cover the plywood in veneer, you get
stability like solid wood and it has adequate
toughness as well. But it would not expand or
contract in humidity, like solid wood and would
not degrade due to temperature changes. This is
why plywood is an excellent option as a bathroom
vanity.

Medium-Density Fiberboard (MDF)
If you wish to get a bathroom vanity on a
specific budget, MDF or medium-density fiberboard
is a really good option. They create it with the
help of pieces of wood that stick together with
the help of wax or resin. It is denser in
comparison to plywood and can be a great option
for the furnishing industry.
You can customize MDF easily and also paint it in
your desired colors. Besides, it does not expand
and contract like hardwood. However, if water
enters the surface of MDF, it can damage the
product. Therefore, its important to make sure
that the bathroom has proper ventilation and the
MDF is sealed well enough to prevent water damage.
