Tangkula wide mirrored medicine cabinet review

A 34.5 in wide mirrored cabinet with three frameless doors, six compartments and soft-close hinges.

What the maker puts in writing

  • “This medicine cabinet utilizes the wall space to create more storage capacity. 6 storage compartments are enough to store your toiletries, cosmetics, skincare products and more”
  • “This wall cabinet features 3 frameless mirror doors that not only expand the visual space of your bathroom, enhancing overall brightness and ambiance”
  • “This bathroom mirror cabinet is available with recessed mount or wall mount to meet your personal needs. The included wall-mounting accessories help to fix the cabinet firmly to the wall. Product dimension: 34.5” x 5” x 25.5”/87 cm x 13 cm (5.1 in) x 65 cm (25.6 in)”
  • A minimalist style suiting bathroom, entryway or hallway
  • “Made of premium engineered wood, this wall mounted medicine cabinet features a sturdy construction… The soft close hinges are capable for years of use, and the waterproof surface is easy to clean”

Thirty-four and a half inches

The widest cabinet on this shelf, and width is the thing most bathrooms actually need.

Above a double sink, a 24-inch cabinet looks like an afterthought; above a wide single vanity, the space either side of a narrow cabinet is dead wall. Thirty-four and a half inches fills it.

And three frameless doors across that width read as one continuous mirror with two lines in it, not three separate panels — which is what makes a small bathroom look bigger rather than busier.

Six compartments, which suits a household

Three doors, two compartments behind each.

That is three separate cabinets, and three separate cabinets is how a family divides a bathroom: one each, rather than everyone’s things on the same shelf.

Compare the DICTAC on this shelf: three shelves across a single opening, which is better for one person storing bottles of different heights.

Neither is better in the abstract. Count the people.

Recessed or surface, with one thing missing

Setting a cabinet into the wall cavity is a far better result: the mirror sits almost flush, nothing projects over the sink, and the bathroom looks built rather than furnished.

It is also real work — cutting drywall, checking for a pipe, a cable or a stud, and framing the opening.

Surface mounting is four screws into studs.

What to know here: this cabinet does both and includes no side mirror kit. A box designed to be recessed has plain sides, and surface-mounted those sides are visible at eye level.

Kohler, on this shelf, supplies a side mirror kit for exactly that reason. YTSMIR also offers both and also says nothing about the sides.

Sixteen and a half kilograms

The heaviest cabinet here, empty — 36.5 lb (16,556 g) — and loaded it will be over twenty.

“The included wall-mounting accessories help to fix the cabinet firmly to the wall” is all the listing says about the fixings.

CHOEZON on this shelf is the only maker that addresses the wall itself: mounting on hollow or plaster walls is discouraged. That applies here with more force, not less. Find the studs, or fit a batten across two of them.

And five inches, which is the limit

A tall bottle will not stand up in five inches.

The deepest cabinet on this shelf, the DICTAC, is 5.98 inches deep. At five inches, check the height of your tallest bottle before you rely on it standing upright.

No shelf load published, and no formaldehyde class.

Strengths, and the catches

Strengths

  • Thirty-four and a half inches of mirror — the widest here, which above a double sink is what the wall actually wants
  • Six compartments across three doors, so things can be separated by person rather than piled by size
  • Recessed or surface mounting, with soft-close hinges and a stated waterproof surface

Compromises

  • Sixteen and a half kilograms empty, the heaviest cabinet on this shelf, with nothing published about fixings beyond "wall-mounting accessories"
  • Offers recessed mounting but supplies no side mirror kit, so surface-mounted the plain box sides show
  • Five inches deep: a tall bottle will not stand up in it, where the VASAGLE here is 6.5

The questions we get

Recessed or surface — which should I choose?

Recessed looks far better and is much more work. Setting the cabinet into the wall cavity means the mirror sits almost flush, nothing projects over the sink, and the room looks finished — but it means cutting the drywall, checking there is no pipe, cable or stud in the way, and framing the opening. Surface mounting is four screws into studs. The thing to know about this listing is that it offers both and supplies no side mirror kit: a cabinet designed to be recessed has plain box sides, and surface-mounted those sides are on show at eye level. Kohler, on this shelf, includes a side mirror kit precisely for that.

What does "engineered wood" mean here?

Less than it sounds, because the phrase covers both particleboard and MDF. Tangkula adds that the surface is waterproof and easy to clean, which addresses the faces — the part that is sealed anyway. What neither this nor most of this shelf addresses is the cut edges, which is where water gets into a wood panel and makes it swell permanently. DICTAC here publishes E1-grade MDF with a waterproof painting process, which is the most specific wood claim on the shelf; Kohler and YTSMIR avoid the question with metal.

Is six compartments better than three shelves?

For a shared bathroom, yes. Three doors each with two compartments means three separate cabinets, which is how a family actually divides a bathroom — one each, rather than one shelf of everybody’s things. Three adjustable shelves across a single opening, as the DICTAC has, is better for one person storing bottles of different heights. Neither is better in the abstract; count the people.
