I actually just did the same thing with the same Ikea countertop. I used Osmo Polyx Hard Wax Oil, and I think it's my new favorite finish for when I want wood to feel like wood. Expensive, but a little goes a long way, and the dry times are pretty fast. Gives a decent sheen and feels great under the fingers. Not available via Amazon prime or in hardware stores though, so if time is of the essence, you might need to find it locally or consider other solutions.
When I want a more "encased" feel, I like dewaxed shellac + wipe on poly. Shellac is fast because it's dissolved solids in alcohol. Quick, cheap, and easy. You could also try spray lacquer for maximum quickness.
For the legs, I pre-drilled my holes, then stuck some 2 1/2 inch nails in to stand the wood off of the ground. (I finished the bottom first with it just sitting on the cardboard it came in.) A little unconventional, but it worked fine!
My wife showed me this and really likes it. I saw it and didn't see anything that looked complicated. I want to try something like this using $40 sheet plywood first. All I see are dados and routing. Some of the vanities have veneer which might be tricky...
These vanities cost $500-700 a linear foot! After she told me that, I said that I'd rather try building them myself.
Click here. This is the one she really likes.
They say they finish everything using Osmo Polyx-oil. Is this something easy to apply?
