Hanging Vanity
Have pulled off our kitchen vanity to refinish it.
Curious, when hanging it back up, is it best to seal around top and sides with silicone to the tile wall to prevent possible moisture getting behind it from the walls when condensation builds up.
I have just installed a new extraction fan, so condensation is much less of an issue as previous, but still some.
Cheers

"kitchen vanity"? Anyway...
Seal it the best you can, but condensation running down the walls needs to be addressed.
Perhaps a bigger extraction fan. More important is to make sure there is a gap/vent in the door or a window that allows the fan to move air freely

Not thinking while typing. Bathroom Vanity.
Condensation issue is fixed as best as possible for a bathroom. The new fan does a great job at removing the steam quickly and is vented out the roof.

Seal with silicone for water splash and spills.
If you think you need to protect the area behind the vanity from condensation you have other issues that need addressing first.
