Although this medicine cabinet can be surface mounted, the idea of recessing the cabinet greatly elevates the design value. The size of the recessed box is 15.25" wide by 18.5" high, allowing it to sit inside studs built on standard 16" centers. If you are retrofitting the cabinet, check to see where the studs are before opening the wall.

Buying Guide

Most, if not all, bathrooms need at least one mirror. Since you are obviously getting one, why not maximize the space with a recessed wooden medicine cabinet with a mirror? The extra storage is a desired attribute in any bathroom, especially considering that most people have plenty of personal items in such part of the house.

Deciding to get a recessed wood medicine cabinet with mirror is the easy part, shopping for one is an entirely different experience. This type of cabinet comes in varying forms, sizes, and features. For many, the choices can be confusing. As a way to make the shopping task much more manageable, this article is going to be a buying guide for recessed wooden medicine cabinets with mirrors.

How to determine the right size for a recessed wood medicine cabinet?

To determine the right size of the cabinet, you need to do a bit of measuring. In most cases, the cabinet is going to be placed above the sink, and below a lighting source. Hence, start measuring the distance between the top of the faucet and lighting source above. From that number, subtract an inch or two to get the maximum height allocation. From the maximum height allocation, deduct one-third to reach the minimum height. After doing the math, you will now have the maximum and minimum height range of the cabinet.

To get the ideal width, you'd want to measure the width of the table in which the sink sits on. If you only have a sink, then just measure its width. From then on, it's the same process. Subtract an inch or two to get the maximum width. Then, subtract one-third to obtain the minimum allocation. If done right, you'll have a working range of the ideal width.

How many shelves does a typical recessed wood medicine cabinet come with?

The typical recessed wood medicine cabinet with mirror will come with two shelves. In most cases, this will be enough. However, if you are only planning to put small items in the cabinet, you can go for more shelving.

If you're not sure how many shelves you'd like, then you might want to opt for adjustable shelving. This feature will make the cabinet a bit costlier, but it will save you the trouble of returning the item in case the number of shelves doesn't work for you.

Can your wall handle the weight of the medicine cabinet?

Most people tend to overlook the weight of recessed wood medicine cabinets with mirrors. Avoid this costly mistake. Since you are purchasing a recessed cabinet, it means that you are cutting a hole in the wall so the product can be "inserted." The primary concern is the support of the cabinet.

If you are cutting through concrete, then the weight won't be a big problem. The concrete should be strong enough to handle most recessed cabinets. If you are cutting through a wooden wall with a hollow interior, then you need to consult with a contractor. If the recessed cabinet is too heavy, the wall alone might not be able to support the weight.
