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.

We had the same problem. We left a little 'wiggle room' when framing our openings... our own fault! I just cut down some drywall and screwed it into the existing wood studs on each side of the mirror... so I was looking at the cut edge. The pieces were about 4 inches wide and 30 inches tall. You can add a layer or 2 on the bottom and try a piece on each side. Definitely do a test fitting before going crazy with the drywall screws. Make sure your cuts are clean and installed evenly with the existing wall... Smack some drywall joint tape over the cut edge and existing wall.. fill it with joint compound and proceed as if patching a hole.

I have a better picture now. I agree a 15 inch wide cabinet be too small. If you got a wider cabinet 20-30 inches you could put the sconces on either side. I think this would look to scale. If you are looking to save some money, how about a light fixture above the cabinet and using your old mirror by cutting it down into two pieces placed on each side of the cabinet? This would give you a the look of a full wall mirror. Is it possible to put the cabinet on one of the side walls? If yes, then cut the mirror down to 30 inches wide and then install sconces on either side. I think this would look better if the cabinet could be installed flush to the wall.

I know the Robern medicine cabinets in our guest bathroom and in our hall bathroom are from the mid-range line, not the lower-end line. They are great. The sides and bottom are dark (brown-black). In our MB we used the high-end line, with silver colored walls and floor, in a 6" deep model. We recessed the cabinet into the bedroom closet, behind the bathroom wall. I needed to store enough of my "stuff" in there! LOL
