Collection 07
Bathroom Storage
Bathroom storage is a width problem before it is anything else. Measure the strip beside your basin and the clearance over the cistern, and half of what you were considering rules itself out. The Shintenchi over-the-toilet units stand on the floor and step over the tank; the medicine cabinets recess or hang, and the mirror was going on that wall anyway.
10 pieces in this collection. Every card leads with the height and the tier or drawer count.

Anything here that stands on the floor with drawers, doors or shelves belongs anchored to the wall. The consumer safety commission launched its anchoring campaign in 2015 and reported ten years later that tip-over injuries and deaths had fallen by nearly half; the instruction behind that number is the one sentence above. An anchoring kit ships in the carton, the job takes about ten minutes with a drill and a stud finder, and it is the last step of the build rather than an optional extra. Where that instruction comes from, and when we last read it, is on our updates page.
The rest of inside
Everything here is measured against a wall, a doorway or a stud, and lives where the floor is level and the light is yours to choose.
