Can the cabinet be surface mounted?

No, it is designed to go into the wall between studs with a minimum of 14" wide space (studs on standard 16" on center spacing = 14 1/2 " wide space).

I suppose you could use it both ways as I have a couple in my house that could be done either way.

No. This is a very well made product; not plastic like some. There would be exposed sharp edges all the way around if surface mounting were attempted.

It's not designed to be surface mounted, there are no holes in the back of the cabinet to screw it to a wall. You could drill your own holes if desired and then surface mount it, but then you would see the sides of the cabinet and you would probably want to build a surround to concel them. I'd advise buying a cabinet that's meant to be surface mounted.

It doesn't come with any hardware for mounting. You would have to rig something up on your own. Plus, the metal that surrounds the whole thing gets very hot, so it would likely damage a cabinet if it were very close or in direct contact.

yes. But if you do that you likely won't be able to use some of the shelves. To echo what other owners of have said - this cabinet is TINY. almost more like a medicine cabinet or spice cabinet than a true piece of furniture.

Robern sells a surface mounting kit for this cabinet separately if required. The sides would be mirrored.

I don't mm know if there are wider options but is does mount to the "floor" of the cabinet.

Yes the cabinet is 5 inches deep. An instruction manual that comes with the unit has instructions for surface mount or recess mount. It is a pretty heavy item and ours is recess mounted, which was done by our handyman. Hope that helps you out.

I suppose you don't have to wall mount it. It will sit on the floor or a bench, but if you don't want a wall cabinet, you may want to consider the C3600G Base Cabinet.

It can be mounted either way. We recess mounted ours. It has a nice framing edge for that. We're very happy with the medicine cabinet. It's constructed very well. Hope this helps.

It will take mounting spacing blocks on the sides of the cabinet. Metal screws in from the outside to do that would impair the appearance of the cabinet but that's a matter of choice. Then attaching to metal drawers, but not impossible. So yes it is doable. I agree though with the other answer that they were designed for wooden drawers.

I guess you could, but you would have to remove it from the cabinet in order to open the top sufficiently to add things to it. I think it would also hang at an awkward angle. If counter space is a at a minimum (like my kitchen) I keep mine on the floor in a corner.

This is not a recessed cabinet you mount it flush on the wall. hope that helps!

The mounting brackets are on the bottom but if you can make spacers to attach to the cabinet sides to align with the width of the rails then you can mount at any height in the cabinet.

It is square and MUST be installed into the wall. No surface mount is feasible.

I recessed it - although it is designed to be surface mounted. I put it about 3.75 to 4" into the wall, and just the mirrors and hinges are on the outside. I think it would be a little boxy if it were surface mounted. White MDF.

Yes. It can be mounted under the cabinet or on wall. Make sure it is mounted securely or it will drupe. The mounting bracket is not very wide to give more stability. But, overall is very nice.

It is not meant to be recessed. The sides of the cabinet are mirrors. Not sure if you could install it as recessed.

I wanted a surface mount but I didn't think this one would be sufficiently supported in a surface mount. It looks better as in wall also!!!!
