What kind of bathroom vanity top material can be easily cut?

7. Wow thanks for all the responses.

I totally forgot I posted this because we had a family emergency today. I'm just now sitting down. Long day!

To answer some questions:

The space where the vanity goes is 47 and 3/4 inches wide and yes it's between two walls. One is the back wall of the bathroom and the wall on the other side separates the vanity from the bathroom closet next to it.

It looks like the current vanity was a standard 48" and was sawed off a little on both sides to fit the space. The rough edges were covered with matching wood trim. The top was also cut off to fit the space and the rough edges covered with matching three inch backsplash on all three sides. The top is a fairly outdated fake marble material with little gold sparkles that I don't much care for so I definitely want to replace it.

We've just had subway tile installed around the tub/shower and a new floor of porcelain stone-look 12x24" size tiles. It looks great so we definitely want to get an updated vanity too. But our remaining budget calls for us to DIY the rest. I don't think I want Formica. We have that in the kitchen and I'm not thrilled with it. We are selling the house soon so I'd like the bathroom to look updated with the under the counter sink and all.

Maybe I should take the advice of NWgirl503 and just get a piece of granite to fit. And I'm glad to be reminded of making sure the plumbing fits.

One more thing. I have a good bit of leftover subway tile and was thinking I might use it to make an 18 inch backsplash around the sink rather than a three inch strip matching the counter top like it is now. Does that sound like it would work or look good?
