Yes.

  In the bathroom vanity according to the present embodiment, the gap concealing member 4 that closes the gap A is disposed between the wash bowl 2 and the crosspiece 15 of the cabinet 1 across the left and right side plates 11a and 11b. The gap concealment member 4 is made of a plastic material, a metal material such as aluminum or stainless steel, etc., and as shown in FIGS. It is an elongate member having a substantially L-shaped cross section, which is composed of a vertical piece portion 42 standing upward from the edge and having an upper end 421 abutting against the wash bowl 2. The horizontal piece portion 41 and the vertical piece portion 42 are integrally formed. Is formed. A rear projection 411 projecting downward is extended from the rear end edge of the horizontal piece 41 in the longitudinal direction. When installing the gap concealment member 4, the front surface of the rear convex portion 411 of the horizontal piece portion 41 is brought into contact with the back surface of the crosspiece 15, and the lower surface of the horizontal piece portion 41 is brought into contact with the upper face of the crosspiece 15. 4 is installed securely.
