ZacaSpacecab Media 16" W X 36" L Recessed Medicine Cabinet

The adjustable shelves allow you to customize your medicine cabinet to your specific needs.

Zaca should dominate the medicine cabinet market on the strength of their modular internal organization system alone. I think a good grade of plastic is the perfect material for a bathroom and I really like being able to move the little half shelves around, remove them easily for cleaning, and configure plenty of vertical space for tall items. (Although this product listing on Amazon doesn't illustrate how this works, the Zaca website does and that's what ultimately prompted me to pick their product.) Installation between two studs on 16-inch centers is also very easy--just four screws and a couple of small shims did the trick. But I'm knocking one star off for fit and finish: The plastic hinges may not rust, but they do make a sort of annoying rubbing sound when you open or close the mirror/door, one of the plastic hinges' externally visible surfaces is rough, and I wonder about their long-term durability. Plus, the plastic "latch" which is supposed to keep the mirror/door shut has too much play. It opens and closes easily, but the mating parts of the latch on door and cabinet do not come together for a definite and reassuring "closed position" feeling.update: My earlier assessment of easy-to-remove shelves was more true than I realized during initial installation. My overall rating of the product hasn't changed, but I do occasionally get frustrated that the little plastic shelves don't have a positive "click" that locks them into place. While this poses no problem most of the time, I have occasionally accidentally pulled a shelf out when grabbing something, and the shelf and anything else on it goes clanking to the vanity top. Zaca needs to re-engineer the shelves to snap in place, not just sit there.update 2: My original review referred to the plastic hinges as making an annoying rubbing sound, but I was wrong about the source of the noise: The real issue is that the plastic shell that makes up the body of the cabinet has a small amount of flex, and when you open/close the mirror, the shifting weight of the mirror causes that plastic to move slightly (laterally) and rub its outer-most molded edge on the latex paint it is clamped up against with the four screws that hold it all in place. I tried to quiet the noise with a thin wipe of spray silicon on the mirror body's mating edge, but it didn't help. Next, I took some small, self-adhesive felt pads and placed them (on the hinge side) just behind the molded portion of the cabinet's hinges, and--on the other side--at five points along the mating edge (adhesive stuck to cabinet frame, not wall) and carefully trimmed them off with a razor knife. Problem solved. However, this is clearly a design error / lack of understanding how the unit performs when installed, and should be corrected. Given the slight flex of the cabinet's body (something that doesn't affect product fitness or durability--just makes noise), the edge that presses against the wall should have some sort of surface that is either extremely smooth or fuzzy (like my felt dots) to quiet things down.

My home was built in 2006 and when we moved in 2 years ago one of our medicine cabinets was cracked. 2 years later I found this exact replacement and at a great price too. However the delivery was 4 days late. On the day of anticipated arrival, I checked the UPS tracking number and it hadn’t even been shipped yet. I emailed the seller and did not get a response but shortly after the package appeared as finally shipped and it arrived several days later. This is not where the fun stops. I removed the old recessed cabinet and carefully installed the new one only to find the interior mirror (small in on inside of door) was cracked. There’s no option in Amazon to contact the seller for defects, only replacements. And for $150 I’m not going to go through the Gastone of uninstalling, returning and waiting weeks for resolution. Guess somethings are just better bought brick and mortar.

works fine, cheap quality, don't install this in your guest bathroom if you are expecting Queen Elizabeth at your home over thanksgiving.

great

I wish I knew it was made of plastic instead of metal. The plastic hinges are fragile.

I have been installing these since 2001 - they are great.

It was exactly what wanted. Size and multiple shelves.
