   Ktay,
   All I use is furniture grade plywood for vanities and for kitchen sink base units and I've never had a problem with it. Any moisture problems I've seen would have been problems regardless of the material and was due to plumbing not defective cabintery materials. 99% of the time I use veneer core 3/4" B1 plywood. It is very rare but I have also used mdf core but that's only when I couldn't find a specific species in vc. I hate working with mdf, but not as much as I hate working with melamine. Hopes this helps, sorry about the little editorial at the end of the last sentence.

   Eric

   You'll be fine with any furniture grade plywood -- as long as it is adequately primed and painted.

   However, if you want to go the whole nine yards, you can make your vanity out of MDO (not mdf), which is an exterior grade plywood specifically designed for paint.
