Review on Design House 530592 NOK Richland Cabinet by Jason Khadka

Stylistically, this first aid kit is a throwback to an earlier time when oak finishes were more common. This purchase replaced a 1980's MDF cabinet with the same three door mirror design that has seen better days (corner gaps, broken door latch, etc.). Finding a first aid kit with a built-in light can come in handy. in case the existing electrical box is not centered over the vanity as was the case with the additional bathroom in my house. After removing the old first-aid kit (also with built-in track lighting), my plan to upgrade the look of my bathroom with a new cabinet and separate ceiling light was thwarted as I had no intention of running the electrical wiring off-center embarrassed . box, patches for drywall, etc. As there are very few first aid kits on the market with built in lights, I settled on a cabinet very similar to the one it replaced, but it serves to to allow me to center and install the cabinet. in the lighting above my small 3/4 dressing table. Here are the pros and cons, in no particular order: Good: Revain was priced right—over $100 less than anywhere else on this cabinet. Good: natural wood front. (I can't tell if it's oak though.) The side and back panels are oak effect MDF and look a lot cheaper. Cons: Shelves are not adjustable. None of them are big enough to hold a medium sized shaving cream or hairspray. The Bad: The door latches are bulky and take up too much space inside the cabinet compared to the latch design used in the much older (similar) cabinet this unit replaced. Bad: The instructions say you can install it in drywall with the included hardware, but the included hardware isn't enough for the weight of the cabinet plus the added weight of the contents. We recommend using studs and purchasing better mounting hardware as the cabinet itself weighs over 30 pounds. (It also helps if you have a second person to help with installation.) Bad: Mirrored doors have beveled glass, which looks nice from a distance but reduces the usable area of each segment. This cabinet replaced a similar model from the 1980s that had three very closely spaced panes of glass (smaller gaps between doors) and as there were no slopes it created a large viewing area that was virtually seamless. The mirrors in this cabinet visually divide up the room and are therefore not suitable for use in the main bathroom. (I don't see anyone happy with this mirror as their main makeup and hair mirror.) Verdict: Best for a 3/4 bath or guest bathroom.
