Bently,
Nice to see you post again. That looks like it is right out of a design publication for The Young and The Wealthy. You certainly do nice work!

A well-designed vanity, really like the soft lighting around the mirrors. A fine build.

Love the design and the overall look. And who doesn't need double sinks!
Very nice looking vanity. How did you mount it?
Almost had to use voodoo....
Short answer is hang cleats.
Long answer,
They put the tile up before I got there, (not part of the plan)
I had to find all the studs through the tile, then predrill holes through it, then screw hang cleats into the studs through the holes. Just for giggles, I also mixed some epoxy to put on the back of the cleats.

Yeah, epoxy’s good. You never know what those bathroom cabinets will get used for. 😁
Very nice clean looking job!

The early bird gets the worm but its the second mouse that gets the cheese.
I'm always more concerned with the back rail strength mounting to the cabinet.
If it's going to fail, it would more than likely be the cabinet coming off the wall with the cleat staying attached to the wall.
I'll do a few extra steps to strengthen up the back rail to the cabinet when building it.

Great build and design.
Which stud finder did you use to see through the tiles? Or did you measure for the studs?
Does it look like tile termites attached the wall behind the cabinets?

No, I was able to go to the back side of the wall, which wasn't tiled, and locate them, then measured from the end wall.
I think there was one or two that I drilled a second hole, below the first (over left or right) if it missed.

In commercial buildings we put steel tubing in the walls for bathroom vanities. Then you know you have plenty of strength
I always like to add blocking in the open walls just for that reason, if one is remodeling and going back to the studs. Just saying.
