If I recessed this unit, could I add framing to make it look like a framed cabinet?

Yes and no; the rough opening would be almost exactly the door size. Your cutout would both need to be a finished edge and spot on.

There is no handle and the door is pretty flush with the cabinet itself. It is a nice unit, looks just like a big nice mirror. I don't see how to frame it but I'm not a handy girl with this kind of stuff.

There are no knobs on the cabinet to open it. You have to pull the outside edge to open it. If you frame it, it may obstruct that outside edge. That would be my only hesitation.

I suppose you could just wrap it as it is fairly stiff. However I placed mine in frames, which took no time to construct wrapped them in material and placed a professional and unobtrusive panel on the walls.

It may be recessed or just mounted on the flat wall. There are side mirrors to make the unit look very finished. It is a very attractive unit....I really like mine.

I returned them (I had ordered two) because they would've looked better if installed recessed, which I didn't want (wasn't about to break into the walls!) so I decided to get mirrors only (still looking for them!) but I can tell you that in my opinion there's plenty of mirror space,the frame is relatively not that big, I don't think that would be an issue, but then, it's a matter of personal taste. Good luck.

It is adaptable to both! You can install as a recessed unit, or, they have included mirrored facings for flush mounting. I mounted mine flush, using the facings, and it looks just great. The quality of this cabinet exceeded my expectations; very nice unit!

I'm sure you can, BUT you just have to drill the holes yourself. It doesn't come with the holes or the hardware to attach the frame.

The cabinet can be wall mounted or recess mounted. Mine is wall mounted, which I think is a good way to go given the mirrored sides of the cabinet. However, if I measure the depth of the cabinet from the back to the edge where the door rests it would be 3-¾-inhes.

I would check with a professional carpenter if you have or will be putting in a wall unit. It's a different project from what I took on as a DIY.

No, it really needs to be recessed. I don't think it would look good or be secure enough otherwise. But I love it. It was exactly what I needed.

yes. you could remove the shelf above, but you wouldn't be able to re-insert the shelf on the frame elsewhere. there are only the four pre-drilled holes for the shelves. if you don't mind one less shelf, it'd work just fine in my opinion.

I could have, but did have a few screws that went in hard. My husband helped some. It's a pretty solid cabinet, weights more than I though.

you could but you will have to visit a cabinet shop or other specialty shop for the hardware. Essentially this unit is assembled with long hex/allen screws with a barrel style fastener on the end. The barrel fits into cutouts in the bench, which do not move when installed, into which the long screws are screwed in.

I believe you can. You will notice it doesn't line up with the frame very well. No hardware is included either.

It's actually not a cabinet but a drawer, so you would have to pull out to gain access to whatever you place in there. It would probably be better to place the CD player above the drawer open space. The unit does look like it us made from particle board or some similar composite wood material.

Yes, and that is because the pantry can be mountated either way you choose (you can choose what side do u want each door) so they didn't add the holes because if they did when the cabinet is mountated you would have extra holes that you could see and in my opinion wouldn't look good as a finished product.

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.

Ours is recess mounted. I believe that is ther way it is designed. The cabinet is very good, but the prodict desription on Amazon is useless - pure puffery.
