A three-door mirrored bathroom cabinet in E1 MDF with three 22 lb (10 kg) shelves and stainless steel hinges.
That number appears on one listing out of seven, and it is the one that tells you whether the cabinet works.
Bathroom shelves carry heavier things than people expect. A liter of shampoo is a kilo. A glass mouthwash bottle, a tin of talc and a row of skincare jars add up fast — and the shelf is the part that bows.
Ten kilos a shelf is a full row of bottles with margin.
Seven other listings here publish nothing. Kohler publishes tempered-glass shelves, which names the material and not the load. Five describe their shelves only as “adjustable”.
A shelf that sags inside a mirrored cabinet is a thing you then live with for a decade.
E1 is the European formaldehyde emission class for wood panels — the stricter end of the common classes.
The formaldehyde comes from the resin binding MDF and particleboard together, and it off-gasses hardest in the first months. A bathroom is small, warm, damp and frequently has no window, which is where that is most noticeable.
DICTAC is the only maker on this shelf that publishes a class. Five of these seven cabinets are wood products.
And the panel itself is MDF with a waterproof painting process, which is the better wood answer: denser than particleboard, and it holds paint at the cut edge, which is where particleboard swells.
Unglamorous, and the right detail.
A bathroom hinge sits in warm damp air and gets splashed. Plated steel develops rust spots at the knuckle within a few years, which stain the paint around them and eventually stiffen the door.
Six cabinets here describe their hinges — soft-close, silent-close, precision, two-way adjustable. This is the only one that says what metal they are.
Kohler avoids the question entirely by making the whole cabinet from anodized aluminum.
A hidden groove at the lower end of each cabinet door.
No handles. You open it by hooking a finger under the bottom edge of a mirrored door.
It looks clean, and it means wet fingertips on the underside of the mirror several times a day — which is where the marks accumulate and where you cannot see them until the light catches it.
Wall mount only. Kohler, YTSMIR and Tangkula all offer recessed installation, which sets the cabinet into the wall cavity and is the neatest result in a small bathroom.
Five centimeters of shelf adjustment, where CHOEZON gives three discrete positions per shelf.
And nothing about the wall it hangs on, which only CHOEZON addresses on this shelf.

Because bathroom shelves carry heavier things than people expect, and the shelves are the part that bends. A liter bottle of shampoo is a kilogram; a glass bottle of mouthwash, a tin of talc and a row of skincare jars add up quickly. Ten kilograms per shelf means a full row of bottles with margin. No other listing on this shelf publishes any figure at all — Kohler publishes tempered-glass shelves, which tells you the material and not the load, and five listings describe their shelves only as adjustable. A sagging shelf in a mirrored cabinet is a thing you then live with.
E1 is the European emission class for formaldehyde from wood panels — the stricter end of the common classes. Formaldehyde comes from the resin that binds MDF and particleboard, and it off-gasses most in the first months. A bathroom is a small, often poorly ventilated, warm and damp room, which is where off-gassing is most noticeable. DICTAC is the only maker on this shelf that publishes a class; six other cabinets here are wood products and say nothing about it. If the bathroom has no window, that is worth something.
Yes, and an unglamorous one. A bathroom hinge lives in warm damp air and gets splashed, and ordinary plated steel hinges develop rust spots at the knuckle within a few years — which then stain the paint around them and eventually stiffen. Stainless does not. Six of the seven cabinets on this shelf describe their hinges in some way: soft-close, silent-close, precision, two-way adjustable. This is the only one that names the metal. Kohler sidesteps the problem by building the whole cabinet from anodized aluminum.
Same category, nearby prices, between bathroom fittings. What remains is the specifications every one publishes — half empty, a column is no use.
