Does this sink base have cabinets in it???...one option is to get the inside measurements of the base, transfer those measurements to your floor where you want to mount the base and screw a 2x4 frame down so that the base slides over it, then screw the base from the outside to the frame. I would recomment you screw the frame low, that way you can put some floor molding around the base, and hide the screws..boom, you're done.

If the floor is not level you need to shim the bottom so that the cabinet doesn't twist with weight on the top. Ask for help if you are not positive about what to do. I've seen people make lots of mistakes in bathrooms (running screws into pipes, etc).

i cant think of any situtation where u can't screw the cab to the wall......when u say wood work in the way i guss ur speaking about baseboard? if ur base is 1/2" thick just put a 1/2" thick trim board at the top of ur cabinet below the top and use it to fur the top to match the bottom and screw the top of cabinet in ..... but better to remove the base and install cab and then cut and reinstall the base....

Just take off woodwork that is in the way, install sink base and then cut woodwork to fit and re-install

Knottygab has it but... be sure to build in some flexabillity to the plumbing-(flexible supply lines and flexible 'bellow type' drain pipes) to avoid future settling problems with the floor.
