We used Robern recessed med cabs in all three bathrooms (mid-level in two bathrooms, a higher-end model in the MB because we wanted a 6" deep med cab in that bathroom--we didn't get it with any bells and whistles extras). Quality of all 3 is great, and all 3 could have been mounted with either a right or left opening (you just flip the cab over to mount either way). Ours have flat mirrors, but I think we could have gotten the same dimensions with beveled mirrors had we so desired. You can see pics or ours in my sub-albums on the link below.

not sure what you mean by "guts exposed" - my nutone metro deluxe has about 1" sticking out, but it's only the door. the cabinet itself is fully flush to the wall. i also ran across this one in my searches. don't know any more than what this web site says, but it says the door only protrudes 1/4" from the wall. don't think you'll get any closer than that, if that's what you're looking for Here is a link that might be useful: nutone illusion

Hi everyone, my name is David and I am the Co-Founder and CEO of ConcealedCabinet.com. I saw this thread and wanted to jump in because I see a lot of people commenting on the price of our products. I certainly don't begrudge anyone wanting to build their own cabinet, however, I wanted to take a moment to explain our pricing so that you understand why we charge what we do. First, you should know that unlike most major medicine cabinet companies, our Concealed Cabinets are handmade from all wood here in North America, not mass manufactured by machines in Asia using plastic or sheet metal. Our picture frames are made of solid US grown hardwoods, like alder and poplar, and our cabinets feature nickel plated steel accents and thick beveled glass shelves. We use only quality materials because it is very important to us that we sell something that we would be (and are) proud to display in our own homes. In fact, many times our customers have written unsolicited to say how impressed they were with the quality of their Concealed Cabinet (you can view dozens of our customers' own words on our Customer Photos page at: www.concealedcabinet.com/Testimonials). We also offer a full one year warranty where, in the unlikely event you have a problem, we will repair or replace your unit at no cost to you. Additionally, we offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee that allows you to return the unit for any reason within 14 days of receiving it for a full refund less only a 10% restocking fee to cover shipping costs. You can view our full return policy at this link: http://www.concealedcabinet.com/Satisfaction_Guarantee.html. We understand that our picture frame medicine cabinets can be perceived as pricey, but the truth is we're in a similar price range to Pottery Barn (who sells mass manufactured products) and we're far less expensive than the products sold by other popular medicine cabinet companies like Robern (who are also selling mass manufactured products). And this doesn't even take into account that we're selling a unique product, whereas they're all selling variations of the same mirrored medicine cabinets. All that said, we understand that some people simply cannot afford our product, so for those who don't mind an imperfection or are a bit handy or crafty, we regularly have 'imperfect' units for sale at a greatly reduced price. If you're interested, you can see those at: http://www.concealedcabinet.com/Clearance.html In closing, I would just like to say we have been in business, selling only our unique concealed medicine cabinets, for almost five years and in that time we've sold to thousands of homes, businesses, government agencies, and hospitals. We've also been featured on LATimes.com, in Real Simple magazine, in Country Almanac's 'Small Room Decorating' magazine, and on the DIY Network show 'Bathtastic!'. If you choose to spend your money with us, you will be supporting a small US based business and you will receive personalized service from either myself, my business partner, Brad, or our Operations Manager, Trevor. If you have any questions, we can be reached at 818-786-0325 or by email at theconcealedcabinet@gmail.com. Thank you for your time.

Any med cab that is more than 14" wide requires that a carpenter make the studs in the wall "special" like your original house. They simply design the wall supports (studs and headers) to fit around the medicine cabinet. If you look at the triple cabs, you can see that there is no 2" stud between the cabinets. Any wooden cabinet will have a thicker back wall than any metal cabinet, reducing the interior space or forcing the cabinet to protrude further out of the wall to get the same depth. You can chose a cabinet that protrudes out a bit in order to get a deeper, more versatile cabinet, if you do not mind the edge sticking out beyond the wall. I would much rather have that extra depth be usable, not the thickness of a wooden back.
