How to Inspect a Bathroom Vanity: Mirror Cabinet, Basin and Storage Design
AI Summary: Bathroom vanity inspection should check whether the cabinet is level, door panel gaps, hinge damping, smooth drawer slides, basin seams, drainage leaks and mirror cabinet installation. Storage design should distinguish high-frequency and low-frequency items; mirror cabinets suit small items, while deep cabinets require easy access. During inspection, actually open and close doors and run water to check, rather than only looking at appearance.
Procurement Checklist

|---|---|
| Installation Level | Cabinet level, firmly fixed, no wobbling |
| Door Panel Hinges | Even gaps, damped opening and closing without abnormal noise |

| Reasonable Storage | Adjustable shelves and compartments, easy access |
Procurement, Installation and Usage Points
1. Drainage must have odor prevention
An odor-proof P-trap should be fitted under the basin, and maintenance space should be reserved inside the cabinet.
2. Mirror installation must consider safety
Mirror cabinets are heavy and must be firmly fixed to avoid wobbling when doors are opened.
3. Sockets can be reserved in advance
Reserve sockets inside or beside the mirror cabinet for electric toothbrushes and hair dryers.
4. Do not blindly increase depth
Excessive cabinet depth causes bumping and crowding in small bathrooms.
