The storage cabinet 8 is fixed to the wall. Next, the front panel 46 is attached to the faucet device box 16.

  The vanity 1 which is an embodiment of the present invention has the following features.

  In the above-described vanity table 1, the faucet device box 16 can be placed on the rear peripheral wall 32 of the wash bowl 4, so that the faucet device box 16 needs to be supported when the faucet device box 16 is attached to the wall. There is no. Similarly, since the storage cabinet 8 can be mounted on the rear peripheral wall 32 of the wash bowl 4, it is not necessary to support the storage cabinet 8 when attaching the storage cabinet 8 to a wall. Thereby, the attachment work of the vanity 1 can be made easy. In this connection, since the power supply unit 44 is supported by the right leg 42 c so as to be spaced from the rear peripheral wall 32, the power supply unit 44 is stored in the power supply unit 44 when the storage cabinet 8 is placed on the rear peripheral wall 32. The load on the cabinet 8 is prevented from being applied.

  Further, in the bathroom vanity 1, the faucet device 6 having the most complicated structure is integrated in the form of a faucet device box 16. Furthermore, the faucet device box 16 can be dimensioned so that it can be used in common for a plurality of types of the wash bowl 4 or the vanity 1 having different width dimensions in the left-right direction. Therefore, the assembling work is facilitated, and the cost for assembling the vanity 1 and the cost for parts inventory can be reduced.

  Further, as the positioning means, the rear peripheral wall 32 is provided with a convex portion 40a and the faucet device box 16 is provided with a concave portion 40b, so that the water faucet device for disposing the water discharge head 10 at the center in the left-right direction of the wash bowl 4 The positioning operation of the box 16 can be facilitated. Furthermore, since the convex part 40c extended to the faucet device box 16 side is provided also in the bottom face part of the storage cabinet 8, the positioning operation of the storage cabinet 8 with respect to the faucet device box 16 in the left-right direction can be facilitated.

  Further, the position of the wash bowl 4 and the storage cabinet 8 in the left-right direction can be determined by one recess 40 a provided in the faucet device box 16. Therefore, it is possible to install the faucet device box, wash bowl and storage cabinet so that the side surfaces are flush without adjusting the position in the left-right direction. Very preferable.

  Further, as described above, since the storage cabinet 8 is placed on the rear peripheral wall 32 of the wash bowl 4, the load of the storage cabinet 8 is not applied to the faucet device box 16. Thereby, the faucet device box 16 does not require a panel on the upper surface side. A front panel 16e is detachably provided. By removing the storage cabinet 8 and removing the front panel 16e, the faucet device 6 can be maintained with the top and front surfaces of the faucet device box 16 open, so that maintenance such as replacement of parts in the faucet device 6 can be performed. Work became very easy. Moreover, since the panel on the upper surface side of the faucet device box 16 is not required, there is an effect that the material cost can be reduced. Moreover, if it is a simple maintenance, it can carry out only by removing the front panel 16e, without removing the storage cabinet 8. FIG.

  Further, a hose space for drawing out and storing the shower hose 14 is provided on the side of the water discharge head 10 that is not used in a conventional vanity and does not interfere with the user.
