Hello everyone,
we purchased the wall cabinet Godmorgon from IKEA as well as a countertop (which is 1.36m (4 ft 6 in) long), into which our built-in washbasin will be installed later. Our wall is made of hollow brick Unipor and has a thickness of 17.5cm (7 inches) in the installation area in the rough construction stage, plus plaster.
Now, like many others, I am wondering:
I really appreciate any tips or experiences you can share.

Now, like many others, I am wondering:
- Which screws and wall plugs (anchors) do I need to securely mount the Godmorgon cabinet to the wall?
- Once the countertop with the built-in washbasin is installed on top, should it be additionally supported with brackets (heavy-duty brackets)? If so, which kind?
I really appreciate any tips or experiences you can share.
I am repeatedly pleasantly surprised by IKEA and their hacks.
I’ve always been hesitant about vanity units because they tend to be quite expensive. Back then, we ordered one online since I wasn’t willing to pay 2000 euros or more. But seeing it like this here, I really don’t mind if I have to replace it sometime.

Grillhendl20 Jul 2020 09:05I feel the same way as you, @tomtom79. It just feels like wasted money.
And if you spruce up the Ikea stuff a bit, you can actually make something good out of it. I don’t think the quality is generally that bad.
I bought the small cabinet for 29 euros because of a special offer and using a promotional coupon. So, I don’t mind if I replace it in a year if I no longer like it, etc.

Hello,
I’m going to join in here since it fits the thread title.
We will soon be getting a Villeroy & Boch Collaro double basin.
The original vanity cabinet seems to be made of ivory and baby walrus tusks considering the price.
So my question is, has anyone combined the Godmorgon with a third-party “branded basin”?
The whole setup should blend together on top quite seamlessly, without a countertop or any other frills.
Regards

We bought these here back then at Bauhaus (but they have to be ordered).
They each support up to 120 kg (265 lbs).
Our Godmorgen, but the smaller one, is installed on the side underneath a 160cm (63 inch) countertop.
The sink itself is mounted on the wall frame and recessed into the countertop.
The brackets with the washbasin were anchored by the craftsman for 50€.

Powermichi11 Sep 2021 00:11I placed my cabinets on square tubing. I cut the square tubing at 45 degrees on both ends, then screwed it to the wall near the floor. I placed the cabinet on top and secured it to the wall at the top using the designated brackets.
It’s rock solid.
I made the 45-degree cuts so that they are no longer visible.

Very sturdy.
I cut the 45-degree angles to make it less visible. Although the bathroom is already finished, please show your square tubing.
