Can also be used. Therefore, by producing and storing a plurality of auxiliary placement parts 14 having different front and rear dimensions or a plurality of upper back guard members 13 having different front and rear dimensions of the auxiliary placement part 14, one wash counter 7 is provided with a plurality of different front and rear dimensions. The lower cabinet 5 can be used in common. In addition, the auxiliary mounting portion 14 and the upper back guard member 13 are less expensive than the wash counter 7 and save storage space, and reduce production costs and management costs compared to producing and storing multiple wash counters 7 having different front and rear dimensions. The construction cost of the vanity 1 can be reduced.

  Furthermore, since the wash counter 7 for the small lower cabinet 5b can be used as a common wash counter 7, when the small lower cabinet 5b is replaced with a larger one by rehabilitation or the like, the same wash counter 7 as before replacement is newly added. It can be used in the bathroom vanity 1. Therefore, the layout of the currant (distance from the front), the shape of the bowl, etc. do not change, and the user can use the lower storage space widely with the feeling of using the wash counter 7 maintained as before replacement. , Improve usability.

  Further, since the upper back guard member 13 has a U-shape formed integrally, the upper back guard member 13 can be temporarily held by being fitted between the wash counter 7 and the mirror cabinet 2 at the time of attachment. Therefore, even if the worker who performs the mounting operation does not support the upper back guard member 13, the fixing portion 19 and the lower surface 4 of the mirror cabinet 2 can be easily fixed by the fixture, and the upper back guard member 13 can be easily attached. It is possible to do.

  The upper back guard member 13 is formed of a water-resistant material, which eliminates the need for water-resistant treatment such as coating and plating, reduces production costs, and eliminates the need for reprocessing due to reduced water resistance. It is preferable because it can improve the life and prolong the life. And if resin, aluminum, etc. are used among the said material which has water resistance, it can manufacture easily by extrusion molding etc., and also can reduce production cost. Of course, if there is no rib 17 on the lower surface 16 of the auxiliary mounting portion 14, it can be formed simply by bending the plate material, so use a metal material having water resistance such as stainless steel which is not easy to be extruded. Production costs can also be reduced.
