I just bought a Broan 255048 medicine cabinet from Kitchen Sources online. It is one of those tri view, mirrored 48" x 28" recessed medicine cabinets with steel interior. It has been nothing but problems with customer service. They first shipped it to completely wrong state and delivered it! They didn't catch it I did! But they don't actually have the units they have distributor ship them and the cusomer service staff in not good and the supervisor is awful and the partners who own it aren't around. Also I contacted Broan who gave me a name and number of one of their biggest retailers who has good reputation since Broan never heard of Kitchen Sources. Warehouse Depot at 1-800-868-8663 and they don't use Fedex to deliver since 90% of the time it arrives damaged they freight it at a higher cost to me about$73.00. I also tried to post warning reviews and their Amazon.com site will not let you post a review! I also tried to post a review and the supervisor stopped it. I realize now that the reason all the reviews are good on this at their site is they jerry pick them! This company also has other ventures and one of it does Funnel searching. This is where they track what sites you went to before coming to their site and track the sites where you went to after for marketing purposes. This really makes me feel very uncomfortable and I want to give others heads up on this company from my perspective.

Babka, my MIL had one of those types of medicine cabinets. I liked it, but hubby doesn't. What he is envisioning: 2 triangular corner mounted medicine cabinets, with the door being a mirror. Between the two, a mirror, either built into a frame or just mounted on the wall with a frame. The wood needs to match the vanity's wood. I've linked a sample of a corner medicine cabinet with a mirror. Picture one of those in two corners of the alcove, with a mirror in between; Donna Here is a link that might be useful: Corner mounted medicine cabinet

I'm not sure if your bathroom is configured this way, but this is what we did. (The walls aren't done yet, even though they look painted in the picture.)We didn't have a medicine cabinet for 30 years and I couldn't wait to get one. This is "The Concealed Cabinet" the previous poster talked about. I love it! (And I have no association with that company what-so-ever). I will say it's a bit pricey and if you're handy (which we are) and have the time (which we didn't) you could probably build one yourself. In fact, I remember someone on this forum recently did just that. I don't know how I ever got along without a medicine cabinet, so if your only alternative is to put one on a wall behind you, DO IT! You won't be sorry

Mclarke, See? that was (and still is) my thinking too --- or at least how my mind's eye saw it should/shouldn't be. But taking into account all the replies (and they were all so right-on about it), I realized I was focusing too much on 'the look' and not what would be the best function for us. My plan when doing this bathroom: I'm not leaving this house without a toe-tag so I wanted everything as perfect for me as I could get it, for the long-term. This same height cab and wall is going to be very hard for this slightly (ha!) anal person to get used to! LOL Annie1971, Oh shoot---had I known, I would have saved all zillion white with pink speckled tiles for you! *g* Before joining this board, all those years with the pink tiles, I was brought up to 'match', to coordinate. So, all those years I went with a pink or mauve or burgundy bathroom. After joining this forum I learned how I could have worked 'with' that tile. I wish I had known about this forum years ago--would have saved me years of bathroom color boredom! And Mclark, I DO have very old, very pretty amber colored glass bottles. They remind me of pharmacy glass bottles. I'll dig them out of storage sometime this week and hopefully they will fit on the top shelf of the med cab. With the new, bigger window the light will reflect on the pretty amber color of the bottles. Great Idea - Thank you! You all were so helpful in making me focus on the function and other little points I hadn't thought about I figured I'll stick some pics in here to show you what we've done. As much as I'd like the cab to stay where it's at (held up with 2 screws so we could get the books out of there/out of the way so we could work on other things), function would be wrong so it's going up a couple inches. During the med. cab height dilemma, we also found the rounded front of the plywood countertop hindered me from getting close to the mirror. Countertop shape has been changed and I'm very pleased with that part. Again, all of you -- Thank you so very much!
