Natural wood, one piece at a time

Wood grain, knots, edge contours, and color naturally vary from piece to piece. Product images show the expected character rather than an identical grain pattern.

General care

These products are not waterproof. Their durable wood-and-finish construction is designed to handle ordinary accidental spills when liquid is wiped up promptly. Avoid standing water, soaking, submersion, and harsh cleaners.

SKU: MPK-FBV-09817-01

Dimensions & assembly

Exact dimensions for each size are listed on the option you select above. Most pieces arrive fully assembled; wall-mounted designs include hardware and a template. Measure doorways and stair turns before ordering — most pieces pass a standard 32-inch doorway.

Care: wipe with a soft, dry cloth and oil the grain once or twice a year to keep the surface nourished.

Shipping & returns

Your piece ships free in a protective wooden crate. Freight delivery comes with a scheduled window and tracking; white-glove service — carried inside, placed, packaging removed — is available at checkout.

Returns: 30 days from payment. Pieces need to be unused and in original condition — we arrange the freight pickup and walk you through repacking. Damaged or defective on arrival? We repair, replace or refund at no cost. Made-to-order pieces can be changed or cancelled while the build has not started.

Solid teak · Floating vanity

One teak board, floating over the tile

The piece

Plate I
Plate II

A live edge that makes the morning wash feel like a ritual.

Each vanity begins as one full-thickness teak board — no veneer, no MDF, nothing hiding under the surface you touch every morning. The designer held the proportions to midcentury lines that read light on the wall; the artisan follows the live front edge by hand through five grits of sandpaper, then rubs natural oil into wood that already carries oils of its own.

Most bathroom furniture is particleboard wearing a waterproof sticker, and one humid August finds every swollen seam. Teak is the wood of commercial steam rooms and ship decks — its own oils and silica shrug off splash without a plastic film to bubble. Hung free-floating or rack-mounted, it clears the floor, opens a cramped bath, and becomes the surface you stop apologizing for when guests wash up.

  • Takes a vessel or drop-in sink, single or double basin
  • Hangs free-floating or rack-mounted, whichever your wall studs allow
  • Clear floor beneath makes a cramped bath read noticeably larger
  • Natural teak oils handle daily steam without a film to peel
  • Room for soap, razor, and the watch beside the basin

It fits real homes.

Side by side

Side by side

6:45 on a Tuesday, two commutes leaving at once. Two toothbrush cups, two basins, one uncrowded teak counter between them. No elbows, no waiting — and every splash the rush throws lands on wood the steam room already proved.

The powder room question

The powder room question

Halfway through a dinner party a guest slips off, then comes back mid-sentence: who made the floating wood under your sink? It is the rare bathroom question a host enjoys, and the live edge is why it gets asked.

January steam

January steam

A long shower on a single-digit January morning fills the room with steam. The oiled teak only deepens in the warm light, never the cold shock tile gives underfoot. One squeegee pass and the running fan are all the day asks.

Teak, up close.

Grain that reads quiet

Tight, straight grain runs the length of the counter, and under a wet palm the surface stays smooth and faintly warm — never the cold shock of the tile it hangs beside.

Grain that reads quiet

The finish nature applied

Teak defends itself with natural oils and silica — the chemistry of a century of ship decks. We hand-rub more oil into the counter; it lands with a low sheen and a faint sweet, leathery scent, never a lacquer smell in a closed bathroom.

The finish nature applied

Density you can feel

At roughly 700 kilograms per cubic meter, teak moves about half as much as oak when winter heat dries the air — and each board spends twenty days in a temperature-controlled kiln before the first cut, so the moving is already done.

Density you can feel

Golden now, silver whenever

Indoors, teak deepens toward amber — true silvering needs outdoor sun and rain, so a steamy bath only warms the tone. If you ever want the fresh-gold look back, a light sanding and ten minutes of oil reset the surface at home.

Golden now, silver whenever

From plank to piece.

The wood selection

The wood selection

Boards are pulled one at a time by selectors with thirty years at the lumber stacks, looking for a live edge worth showing. Twisted, checked, or dull stock never makes the cut.

The shaping process

The shaping process

The shelf is cut slightly proud of its line, back and sides squared against a straightedge for a tight wall fit, the live front edge left for handwork.

The hand refinement

The hand refinement

Counter and natural edge move through five grits of sandpaper until they feel right against an open palm, not merely look right.

The final inspection

The final inspection

Oil goes on in thin coats, buffed between each. The maker checks level, mounting points, and finish under a raking lamp before the vanity leaves the workshop.

One maker follows each piece from rough plank to the final coat of oil, and signs off before it is crated.

The Timber Vintique workshop

No two boards alike

The grain that arrives is yours alone.

  1. Every board is cut from a different tree — the photos here are a reference, not a promise.
  2. Your piece is photographed in the workshop before it ships, so you see your exact grain.
  3. Small knots and mineral streaks come with real wood. We leave them in.

Delivery, done properly.

White-glove option

Choose white-glove and the crew brings the piece inside, places it in the room, and removes every bit of packaging.

Crated for freight

Each piece travels in its own wooden crate with corner protection, built to cross the country without a scuff.

Scheduled window

You get a delivery appointment and tracking — not a truck that shows up unannounced.

Honest returns

30 days from payment. If it isn't right — unused, in original condition — we arrange the freight pickup. Made-to-order terms are stated up front.

Questions customers usually ask

Why teak for a wall-hung vanity?
Teak is the default wood of commercial steam rooms and spa benches — environments wetter than any home bath. Its own oils and silica resist steam and splash without a plastic film, which is why it is the one furniture wood that genuinely belongs beside a sink.
What widths and cutouts are available?
Widths are built to order from about 24 to 72 inches, with sink cutouts drilled to your specified basin and faucet. Send fixture spec sheets with your order and the cutouts arrive ready for the plumber — no field drilling in finished teak.
What does installation require?
A concealed steel hanging rail carries the vanity; it must anchor into studs or blocking, because a solid teak counter is real weight and we treat it that way. Plumbing hookup uses standard US fittings — most plumbers complete installation in under an hour.
How do I keep the teak golden?
Wipe standing water after the morning rush and run the fan. Re-oil once or twice a year, when the surface looks thirsty — about ten minutes with a cloth. Black spots on bath teak are mildew feeding on soap film sitting on the wood, not the wood failing; a rinse and a soft scrub clear them.
How is the vanity delivered?
Every vanity is made to order and freight-crated with corner protection, the rail, hardware, and drilling templates packed inside. Photograph the crate before the driver leaves and note anything on the receipt — if transit damage happens, that photo makes the fix fast.
What is the standard size of this vanity shelf?
This build lists at 16 inches wide by 18 inches deep per shelf section. Because the front carries a live edge, depth varies slightly along its length — your board's edge line is the proof it is one of one, not a flaw to explain.
