I plan on removing the cultured marble countertop (which have sinks) that is over a single laminate cabinet and replacing it with a real marble (with new sink and faucet) countertop. This is in a small vanity area of 36" wide by 22" deep. So the countertop will go from side wall to side wall.
Do you think I'll run into any problems doing this? I know that real marble will be heavier but there is a support screwed into the back wall at the studs. And the sides will go over the side panels of the cabinet, which are in from the wall about 2". So I think the support should be there. I'm going to make new doors for the cabinet and paint it all.
Because of the plumbing being crazy (the water feeds come from the floor and the waste pipe goes into the right wall), it would be a bear to put in a new cabinet. They must have built the cabinet in place and I'd like to avoid that extra expense. The cabinet itself is very very solid.
Thanks for any advice or tips.
