Review on Kohler Frameless Aluminum Bathroom Medicine Cabinet, 20x26 Inch, Recess or Surface Mount, Silver by Tina Wells

Revainrating 3 out of 5

VERY VERY Bad choice for surface mount

High quality Kohler product ruined by poor quality mounting hardware and (in my opinion) false advertising as surface mount looks very ugly and unfinished due to "glues" sticking to the pages are located. " Mirror panels. (Not exactly high quality and not ideal for high humidity bathrooms where IF the adhesive FINALLY fails and the side panel falls off you'll end up with a nice floor covered in broken glass. Just what you need when you get out of the Shower is coming. BUT WAIT, that's not all! The mounting kit is seriously inferior. Since the cabinet is 20" wide and has a good attachment to the bottom support rail, GUARANTEE that Kohler will supply an aluminum corner rail for mounting WHICH DOES THE NORMAL LEGAL FRAME (16" centers). So your mount will be at least about 17" wide. But no. Instead, they bless you with an almost useless corner rail that's a whopping 10-1/2" wide. So can They support the whole weight of the cabinet (plus future content) with one side supported by drywall anchors (!) Ridiculous, I had the materials, tools, and time and skills to build a solid 17" K to build pitchers that actually worked. AND YOU? , a very poor product from a company I just expected more from. Both of my bathrooms are now suffering from a few of these ugly (no side mirrored SECURITY panels) until I find the time to properly trim, redesign and reinstall them in the walls. Not quite what I originally wanted to do.

Pros
  • Good thing
Cons
  • Security
