Things to note when installing a mirror cabinet:
1. Do not choose a mirror cabinet that is too thick. Because some people say that the mirror cabinet is easy to hit the head, therefore, when choosing, you can choose a thinner one, which can be 15-20 centimeters, the thickness of a cup.
2. If you find it inconvenient to open and close the mirror cabinet, you can also choose a mirror cabinet with open shelves. In this way, you can place frequently used items on the open shelves and take them directly. Those that are not commonly used can be placed in the mirror cabinet.

4. Pay attention to lighting. Before installing a mirror cabinet, you must consider the distance between the mirror on the mirror cabinet and the person's face, as well as bathroom lighting issues. Make sure that the mirror on the mirror cabinet can clearly reflect people!
