Non-plasticky bathroom sink vanity units that don't cost the earth

We're renovating our bathroom and most of the vanity units available seem to be horrid plasticky gloss units... I can't stand them! I'd really like something more natural like wood - can anyone recommend a source? I quite like the ones on tikamoon - are they any good?

We renovated two bathrooms and used wooden vanity units for both.

One was from an Etsy seller and is teak. It's not held up particularly well to water marks.

The Tikamoon unit is incredible. Wish I'd gone for Tikamoon for both units. I don't know what they've done to the wood but it looks brand new a year on. Looks and feels like real wood. I'd recommend them to anyone.

Lead times can be a bit long though.

We also have a Tikamoon one and love it! It's a high quality piece. Yes it was expensive but looks great in our ensuite and lots of people comment on it.

Whatever you do, don't get one from Roper Rhodes. We had a Hampton vanity & bath panel installed about five weeks ago and already the paint is peeling off and the wood is splitting, on both items.

I've researched online and it seems a common issue. I'm in the process of complaining to them but really regretting getting it, even though I really like the style & colour.

Wood and water, in general, don't go well together in a bathroom.

We have a wooden looking floor which is made of porcelain planks (tiles).

Just to give the opposite view on Roper Rhodes - we have had some vanity units for them installed since 2017. No complaints whatsoever they look great still. Bath panel has perhaps a tiny bit of water damage but I imagine that happens often with bath panels.
