Over The Toilet Cabinet

My s/o and I had to down size quite a bit with a recent move. Mainly, the bathroom. We went from two full bathrooms to one. Plus, the one bathroom we do have is VERY tiny. 'Can't stand up from the toilet without whacking your knees and/or butt on the shower door' type of tiny. So, any storage was laughable. When looking for basic shelving to go above the toilet, I stumbled across this. I was hesitant because it looked like it may be difficult to assemble or the support bar at the bottom wouldn't fit behind the toilet. Nope and nope. Extremely easy to put together. Small, petite woman here and had no trouble. The only part which required an extra pair of hands, was actually putting it in the bathroom. I had to put the bottom part down first, (the top of the structure separates from the leg base, which I assumed was for situations like this), then attach the top part. Lightweight yet very sturdy. Great price yet extremely attractive. Love the doors so you can store more personal items, such as feminine products or meds. Have gotten compliments and disbelief it was just a simple purchase through Amazon. Highly recommend for anyone looking for extra storage in a small space.

I like the way it looks in my bathroom. I like the way it's made. And the color. I bought it in espresso. So it goes great with my bathroom. It really adds to the decor. And there is enough shelves to hold your items. But from the pictures I saw, it looked to be wider and taller. I know it's built to make sure there is space for the lid. But I see where it could be a little wider. It's not even covering the toilet tank all the way. So I was a little surprised. And it doesn't hold bath towels. At least not the ones I have. If I could, I would've given it 4 and a half stars. But than I realized I could put something nice on top, so that pushed it to 5 stars. Is it worth the price of $92.99+tax, which turn out to be $104, maybe. I believe $85+tax is what it should have been. But Because there were no problem putting it together. Every screw fit nicely. I say do what you feel. it did take him 4 to 5hrs. I don't know if that was because he likes to lay everything out and take his time. Or that's just how long it took. So at the end of the day would I recommend to buy? Yes.

The reason for the 3 and 4-stars, is that we had a hard time putting on the bar that went behind the toilet. The space we have is very small. so my husband was able to do the right side. However, he is right handed so it made it easy to do the right side, my daughter who is left handed had to do the left side for him. The space we had was very tight, but she got it tight for us. I should have gone for a cabinet over the toilet instead of one that was around the toilet. Otherwise, my daughters love the extra space it has given them. It would have work nice in our downstairs bathroom. My husband suggested that an Allen wrench and screws for an Allen wrench would have work better for this area under the toilet. We are not disappointed in the product just disappointed in the fact that it is good for toilet areas that are not surround by a tub and a sink.

First, let's get the obvious out of the way - this thing is a beast to assemble. Instructions say 1 hour, but you'll probably want to give yourself 2 unless you have multiple people helping you. That said, assembly itself is simple, it's just a lot of parts and at the end you feel pretty confident about the sturdiness of the thing. The unit looks nice and fits very snug over the toilet, so it's good if you don't have much wiggle room on either side of your commode. The materials are plywood with a white veneer - par for the course with ikea-like furniture these days. I only mention this because I'm curious to see how it reacts to constant moisture exposure. I suspect this would be a 5+ year problem though. Overall very happy with the look and sturdiness of the product and feel it is priced well.

The cabinet is well designed. The finish is a smooth laminate that easily wipes clean with a damp cloth. The core is MDF but is pressed well--meaning the boards won't crumble when you move it into place. The dowels add stability and are well placed in the construction of the cabinet. I chose this cabinet as the opening for the toilet is wide enough to fit around my wider tank lid and side-facing flush lever. While this is an excellent benefit, I still cannot push the cabinet against the wall for anchoring. There is a decorative piece that faces the room which also hits against the front of my water tank. This makes the piece unable to shift further back (towards the wall) for anchoring. I also have to shift the unit to the left as far as it can to allow access to the flush lever handle. I also cannot use the bottom stability plank that sits behind the toilet--the space is too tight for a screwdriver to fit. If the bold head was Allen key, then I could've used that to install the plank. Even without the plank and anchoring to the wall, if light items are stored in the cabinet there is no concern for it falling. The cabinet does have a strong smell but will dissipate after a few days. The smell isn't annoying to me but might be an issue for some folks with smell sensitivities. I would buy this product again. Great design overall and the finished product is as displayed on Amazon's website.

Takes a while to put together, but looks great!

This thing is "sturdy" but only partially. And to building it you have to be extremely careful to put the locking screws in EXACTLY straight otherwise the waterproof claims made in the decription do not apply and there are 2 holes where the locking screws go into right by the toilet that have no water covers what so ever so the waterprrof anti-rot claim is absolutely bogus we'll see how long this thing lasts also the mouting anchors are very short so if you have uneven flooring and very thick crown molding then they are useless. Even went to home depot to try to find longer ones but they are specific parts designed for this unit and are not available at such hardware/contracting stores that i could even find. You get what you pay for I guess. It is NOT easy to assemble. The storage capacity is okay "if" you can anchor it to the wall otherwise it's a serious fall hazard and as far as sturdiness goes it's made of thick glued particle board for the price it should've been made of actual wood even if it was just pine or maple (cheaper woods) do your research and find something better because this thing is tempermental to build and it's easy to miss something in the instructions because the parts required for each step are tiny and things are either mislabeled or not labeled at all by the time they get delivered already had scratches in it by the time it got to me. I'm going to have to use humidity proofing and hot glue just to seal some of the areas from moisture or else it will rot.

We liked it, we have a tight space so the hard part was putting the back bottom part. Luckily we had a small screwdriver to help us tighten it. It's solid, once anchored to the wall. Everything fit together nicely, time it took my husband was maybe an hour with breaks. Now I just need to add some decorations.

that everything was mark right

For my bathroom

Arrived a few days late but worth the wait. Specifications were exactly as described and it fits perfectly.

When I stood the shelf up it collapsed breaking the supports. I went to reorder the same shelf and the price one week later went from 140 to $350. What a giant rip off scam.

So Easy to Assemble! Great product. Nice added touch to our ensuite.
