Flat Edge 16 in. x 20 in. Recessed Medicine Cabinet

We bought this to replace the original medicine cabinet that was installed in the 1950s when the house was built. This new cabinet fit in the existing hole and we used a shim to get it just right. The cabinet did not come with shelves. But the instructions that came with the cabinet said specifically do not return to the store. So we decided not to return the cabinet, proceed with installation and contact customer service to get our shelves. The tough part came with screwing in the cabinet. The holes for screws are so close to the top and bottom of the cabinet that you can’t use a drill. We marked where the holes were on our studs and predrilled some pilot holes to make installation easier. We used a screwdriver to install the screws. The pilot holes didn’t help at all and the screws were stripped so quickly. After 45 minutes of full body force, we finally got the screws in place. The cabinet is secure and looks great but again, it didn’t come with shelves. So we contacted the manufacturer’s customer service like the installation guide said to do and they were no help at all. They told us that we had to buy replacement shelves for $30 a piece. But the cabinet was supposed to come with them. We thought we were following the instructions when it said not to return it to the store but we clearly messed up by installing it before contacting customer service. The screws were impossible to get in, there is no way they are coming out. Now we’re stuck with a cabinet that doesn’t have any shelves and the brand doesn’t care enough to actually provide what was stated in the package or on their installation guide. No help. Beautiful products, terrible placement of the screw holes, difficult to install, missing parts, misleading installation guide and bad customer service. Would not recommend.

I purchased two of these for our master bathroom. As they came only in an anodized aluminium finish, I painted the exposed surfaces to match other bronze finishes in the bathroom. The cabinets were very easy to mount. The included plugs for unused shelf holes were a nice touch with the rounded shelf edges much appreciated. I will add simple wood picture frame molding to the mirrors for a more classic look to compliment existing cabinets.

I came home to find that the mirrored face of the medicine cabinet delaminated and landed on the edge of the countertop. Amazingly it didn't shatter.

Easy install. Looks great!

This is a great looking product. I replaced an old cheap plastic version with slat louver doors with this unit. It fit right in the old space I created 25 years ago for that unit. (see attached photos) You simply flip the unit to reverse the door swing. That's easy. Everything was packed well so there was no broken glass. All the mirrors are covered to avoid damage during installation. I was a little nervous in snapping in the glass shelves, but no worries, they snapped in without a problem. I saw the other review about the screws. I agree that the holes are bit too close to the top to easily fit a cordless drill in the space easily. (The chuck can get in the way.) However, it was only about 1/8" off and the screws went in at a very small angle. I had no problems with stripping. I used a new bit with good grip. Just be careful in this critical step.

I replaced an old, rusty medicine cabinet with this new one. This one is made of aluminum and therefore won't rust for sure. Unfortunately I was not able to find one with the exact dimensions of the old cabinet, so I had to do a little re-framing and patching. The actual installation is very simple, put it in place, set and tighten 4 screws, done. The medicine cabinet looks great and has plenty of room inside for your toiletries.

I have been waiting for this exact item for years. I am beginning a redo of my 55 year old bathroom, and wanted a recessed medicine cabinet replacement that was the same size as the old one with just a simple, but attractive mirror. This product is just that. If I hadn't had issues with the screws stripping out, I would have been able to remove the old cabinet and replace it with this one in less than 30 minutes. When I went to install this one, I predrilled the holes so as to avoid an issue with the screws. Unfortunately, we've all dealt with the fact that manufacturers place the holes so high up that it causes a problem with using a drill due to lack of space. These screws are way too cheaply made. I've hung lots of things in tight spaces, and these strip out almost immediately. After the first one stripped, I figured it was my fault. With the second one, I pulled the drill back as soon as I realized that the drill had skipped, but it was too late. I ended up using the old, original screws from my old cabinet chest. If not for this issue, I would have rated this product with 5 stars. It's absolutely perfect except they cheaped out on the screws.

Wonderful product overall. Really solid quality. The only knock against it is I needed 2 of these units for my house, and I had to buy about 4 total I think to find ones that didn't have scratches in the metal frame. For all I know they were returns to begin with, and the previous buyer wasn't very careful with handling it---who knows. Thankfully Home Depot had no issue accommodating this problem to help me find units in pristine condition.

Beautiful. Easy to install.
