Are there any major differences? Currently, it seems to me that the big manufacturers—whether Villeroy & Boch, Puris, Pelipal, Burgbad, and so on—charge a lot of money for just a few MDF wood panels. I don’t quite understand that. At the moment, I’m searching through various online shops and find some good value for money options, but I’m not sure how to assess the quality they offer, especially regarding the no-name brands. Does anyone have any tips or sources? Would it make sense to ask a local carpenter or joiner about this?
We have everything custom-made from solid oak: a base cabinet measuring 1.60m (5 feet 3 inches) with 4 drawers, a tall side cabinet 1.80m (5 feet 11 inches) high with 2 doors and 2 drawers, a mirror, and a guest bathroom base cabinet. In total, we paid 2,500 including VAT.
The plumbing work would have cost 3,500 and the stuff was shaking like a wet noodle, obviously not solid wood but cheap MDF material.

And who wants to put up with that? I hardly like any of the standard bathroom furniture. All smooth materials. No natural elements. If you search enough, you can find solid wood or industrial style options (also affordable), but hardly anyone here seems to appreciate those.
Does anyone have a tip or suggestion on where to find a reasonably priced solid wood countertop for a washbasin?
Size 2.00 x 0.50 meters (6 ft 7 in x 1 ft 7 in) – thickness 2.50–4.00 cm (1–1.6 inches), solid wood
...but I’m also open to non-solid materials that would visually fit.
Thank you very much

In our old house, we had multiplex plywood, stained dark and coated with marine varnish.
Kitchen manufacturers are also an option. We currently have a worktop from Ikea... but it should be replaced with something real at some point.
