The disclosed vanity tops have the substantial weight and solid sound preferred by consumers, yet are often lighter and stronger than cultured marble vanity tops. Also provided herein is a method of manufacturing a molded vanity top. The interior of a mold is coated with a surface layer. The mold is then filled with a composite backing material made from a polyurethane resin and a filler. After curing, the vanity top is demolded and finished.
