The guest bathroom has so many DIYs so I thought this one deserved its own video. I designed and built this sink cabinet for under 150€ and can't believe how good it turned out! It's rental-friendly as well ;)
The material cost breakdown:
Square dowels - 13.17€
Poplar plywood - 78.09€
Decorative trim - 22.81€
Drawer slides - 12.50€
Wood stain - 3€ (I used 1/3 of a 8.72€ can)
Particle board - 11.64€
Plaster - 1€ (I used less than half of a 2.50€ pack)
Fibreglass tape - 5.79€
TOTAL COST - 148€
