Building a vanity for a heavy sink

[Freddiemeup]

Hello!

I have bought a 180 kg heavy sink that I am going to build a vanity for. I have found 15x15 beams that I plan to use, but I am unsure how to assemble it so that it won't be wobbly/unstable to place such a heavy sink on. Do you think this would work? And how should one assemble/join the beams?

If I were to hazard a guess, I would think you could place at least 20 tons on a 150x150 post that is a few meters long...

I assume the sketch isn't as it is because you want that look, but rather something overkill that's supposed to hold?

Assume you want something rustic-looking anyway? And that you want to build it yourself?

If function is important, I think it's easier to choose a ready-made vanity and adapt it to hold the weight...

Yes, I'm not worried the beam won't hold, more about whether the construction will hold. So that it doesn't become wobbly.

I want this look more than it being a correct construction sketch, yes.

I want the look but of course, it should function construction-wise.

What is the size of the sink?

I think it will look quite bulky with such a large "rectangle" underneath... 🤔

What are the possibilities to attach it to the wall?

Maybe so, but we'll probably later look for cabinet doors that we'll put in front.

Yes, it can be mounted on the wall.
