What is the best material for a bathroom vanity?
I’m thinking of redecorating my restroom with the assistance of Itile Bathrooms NT, but I don’t have any idea what material is best for my shower vanity. Can I have some suggestions on what I should use for my vanity?

Keep ease of maintenance in mind. Hard surfaces are best; quartz (man made), granite, plastic laminate, etc.
What are you referring to? The cabinet? The counter tops ?
I have blown off sheet goods in cabinet making and only build them out of wood. There's nothing wrong with using plywood ,I build out of wood because I prefer it. I would stay away from particle board. A sink cabinet is almost certainly going to have at sometime in the future a water incident.
Your choice of a sink will have a lot to do with what you use for a counter top. There are too many possibilities to even list. Stone of all sorts, laminates of all sorts, other man-made materials specifically made for counter tops, tile ,cement, even wood. Tile isn't popular these days which tends to make me like it more.
I like tile too. Why? Because my wife does a good job laying, measuring, and marking tile for cutting and I do the cutting, nipping, and rasping. I have a small, electric, wet tile cutting saw.
I love tile! Just be sure to properly waterproof under them so the wood below doesn't rot from the water that gets absorbed by the grout.

If cost is not a constraint, then solid wood serves as the best material to use for bathroom vanity cabinets. Wood comes with a diverse range of options – birch, oak, maple, polar, etc. MDF also has 30% solid wood and proves to be a good choice. Other popular options which are also cost-effective are tile, plywood, and PVC.
