If you really want a custom sink & top, then what everyone has said is true, without IKEA’s special plumbing, the pipes won’t fit. If it were me and I was determined to use Hemnes but not an IKEA sink, then I just wouldn’t build the top drawer, and instead just attach it to the frame from behind with some flat brackets from the hardware store. Then you have that entire upper area for the sink and plumbing and you can still use the bottom drawer like normal. I have installed hemnes vanities with ikea sinks in my last two houses and they hold up really well. Good luck! I hope it turns out exactly as you envisioned! Answer from Adora_Mae on reddit.com

Hemnes Bathroom Vanity Q
It looks like the Hemnes vanities are made of fiberboard (MDF) so sanding and staining isn’t an option there. I think your best bet would be to paint it. More on reddit.com

r/IKEA on Reddit: Hemnes Vanity with Custom Counter/Sink?
January 25, 2022 -
I'm wondering if anyone has had luck using a custom sink & countertop with the Hemnes vanity base. I see plenty of info using the Godmorgon vanity base but cannot seem to find anything in regards to the Hemnes. I am looking to using the 23" Hemnes base with an UNDERMOUNT sink. Thank you in advance!

It’s theoretically possible just might have clearance issues with a different sink/plumbing. The ikea sinks aren’t all that deep in part to allow the full drawer below

November 5, 2017 - One of my favorite successes of our "two bathrooms in four days" reno projects was the affordable, cute, clean and modern bathroom vanity we created out of an IKEA sink cabinet! Here's a bit of a tutorial for you! IKEA Hemnes 2-drawer sink cabinet in 31.5" or 40.5" (this will not work as well with other models, since the pre-drilled holes will be centered on the drawers--you would have to use a cup-style pull covering the hole)

8 IKEA Hacks to Create Bathroom Storage Out of Thin Air | Apartment Therapy
October 21, 2025 - A wood vanity is warm and welcoming in a bathroom, but that lovely look usually comes with a not-so-lovely price tag — especially if it comes with functioning drawers. Farwa Moledina (@thehousewiththepinkbed) and her husband knew the grain of wood would be pretty in their pink bathroom, but they couldn’t find one that fit within their budget and the square footage of the space. A basic two-drawer HEMNES chest came to the rescue.
