Can it be recessed into the studs in the wall?

Although I have this medicine cabinet, it is wall mounted. It has mirrors on both sides of the box part. If that would fit between studs in your wall, I guess you could make it recessed but that is a guess. Can't Amazon ask the manufacturer?

It can but that inhibits the door opening if you recess it to far. I have two and they are both partially recessed to allow the door to open.

Our contractor said it is designed to not be recessed, but personally I think it would look better recessed partially so that you could still open the mirror.

Good day, Although ours is surface mounted, its dimensions allow for recessed installation. According to one previous responder the cabinet should not be fully recessed to allow the door to open at 180 degrees.

As per the install guidelines it can be, but you may need to make adjustments to your stud configuration to make it fit. It comes with both surface and recessed hardware and mounting instructions.

Yes, we had ours installed as a recessed unit. The installation instructions could have been better. Took a bit of time to figure it out, but it looks great now!

yes. The mirror opens but not all the way flat which is good if you have sconces on each side

Yes. I would just make sure to install at a stud in the wall - at least on the hinge side. If I remember correctly, the screws were pretty long. If the screws are not long enough you can just get longer ones at a hardware store.

Yes. Just be careful not to screw too tightly into wall to avoid cracking. I also used a bit of double sided tape towards the inside bottom so it doesn't stick out I couldn't tell if it was my wall but an easy fix

I am sure someone with amazing talent could, but it is not made to recess into the wall. It was not exactly easy to mount as it is two different pieces that have to be lined up close but not so close you break the glass when opening the door. Other than that this is a great unit, once it is in you will love it!

It has a "kit" that makes it able to wall mount, having slim mirrors on the sides, or you can recess mount it. Hole opening should measure 14 1/8 inch by 25 inch.14 1/8 inch makes it right for fitting between the studs and once you slide it into the hole you just screw it to the studs. I recess mounted mine - looks great !!

That's really not possible. The weight will pull any toggles right out of the wall and take a big chunk on drywall with them. Your best best if you can't get into the studs is to mount a piece of 3/4" cabinet grade plywood or another very strong backing material to the wall studs and then mount the shelf to the plywood. We did that and then painted the backing the same color as the wall and you really can't even see it. Keep the size of the plywood limited to a minimum. We cut ours the height of the shelf unit (with brackets) and then the width to the width necessary to secure to the studs. Mine is loaded with hanging pots and then other items on the shelf.

I can't say. The contractor installed mine - the house was totally renovated and at one point was down to the studs. It is built into the wall.

Sure, it can be drilled into the wall, but it doesn't come with pre-drilled holes. I thought about doing the same thing, but I just purchased a tv stand to push it back against the wall and it holds it firmly.

yes, but the ones that go thru the wall studs are very long. I substituted shorter ones. other users of this product say the long screws can break half way in and then you have a hole with half the screw in that you cannot remove. otherwise a good product, very strong.

It can be recessed into wall. However we did surface mount. Nice product for the money

Yes, it can be either recessed or wall hung. I have it wall hung but would probably like it better recessed. It is a nice cabinet for the price.

Yes, if you can get it installed into at least two studs. Real studs not usin anchors.

I would think not ... As you can see from the picture it is "rather large" ... If you can provide the measurements for the "recess" I will measure the device ...

That's a tough question.....I have to say NO. Unless you can get a look at the stud in the wall and if its thin enough, get self tapping screws that will screw into the metal stud..... but that's really a hit or miss unless tried., good luck

Sorry, I was confused, this order was for my mother in law. We were'nt ableto install it recessed but if I remember correctly it was because our wall wasn't deep enough.
