May the mirror be recessed into the wall?

The motion sensor is on the mounting frame behind the mirror. If you recess the mirror you will likely lose the motion sensor switch function.Cathy

No. The switch is on the side so it would be inaccessible if it were recessed.

It has to be recessed some because of the electric housing - it couldn't be recessed all the way flush with the wall though.

No as there is a switch on the lower right hand side to turn the back light on

No, it can not be recessed into the wall because of the motion sensor located on the lower right side that turns it on and off. I would not personally want it recessed due to the area size of the mirror. Having it protrude allows a person to see better inside the lighted part of the mirror.

The mirror can be moved or you can choose not to install it. It is held in place by double sided tape.

The mirror screws onto the back of the desk with two supports that are included. If you do not install the supports and mirrors, you could use it as a desk without holes on the surface. :)

The mirror is directly on the wall. It comes very sturdy, so I believe you wouldn't have any problems. I really like the product and would purchase it again if I needed it.

Technically it was made to be wall hung, not recessed, but yes you can definitely recess it if you wish.

You can do it either way. It sticks out a little far for my tastes when you hang it on the wall, so I went to a lot of trouble to move studs and relocate plumbing in order to recess it. But it looks fine if you don't recess it.

Yes it can it is mounted in the wall considering there is enough space between sink top and mirror

I surface mounted the mirror. There is a thin mirror that surround the cabinet that is very appealing.

The mirror is not lighted, and needs to be mounted directly to the wall. I do love the mirror, and the angles you can get the mirror to turn.

Yes, it can be installed either way. We preferred to install it facing up because we wanted to use energy efficient light bulbs. This way the light bulbs are not visible. Also this light fixture is fairly large and we didn't want the lights to hang over the vanity mirror.

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.

I am sure someone with amazing talent could, but it is not made to recess into the wall. It was not exactly easy to mount as it is two different pieces that have to be lined up close but not so close you break the glass when opening the door. Other than that this is a great unit, once it is in you will love it!

There is nothing showing but the mirror. The cabinet is recessed into the wall.

You can, but you would be probably installing for a standard 24" pocket door and 30" pocket doors to recess them completely into wall.

Yes you can. You just wouldn't add the 2 black poles that stick up to hold the mirror. Its a great vanity!

I guess it could be recessed but we just wall mounted it. It is a pretty cabinet.

The mirror is held in place with Silicone with a piece of thin wood also glued in with Silicone. I'm sure it can be done, but the finished front might get damaged in the process. You might be able to frost the existing mirror with a kit to frost glass, but practice on something else first. Good luck.
