Customer Reviews for KOHLER Catalan 15 in. W x 36 in. H Recessed or Surface Mount Medicine Cabinet in Satin Anodized Aluminum

I waited over a year to review this product. These medication cabinets are amazing! My husband and I highly recommend. They hold So much stuff. High quality, and absolutely no problems over a year later. If you buy these, say goodbye to messy countertops! I love the inside mirror. It’s so easy to put mascara on. I want to buy two more for my children’s bathroom.

Very sleek and SO much storage, but wish it had a soft close door. Door tends to slam when closing

PBDRENOVATIONS

I installed two of these in my master bath. They look great but two years later one of the mirrors had become "desilvered" all around the edges. The warranty linked on this page is not for this mirror (it is for faucets). The warranty on this mirror is for one year. Thankfully you can buy a replacement door, so I didn't have to pay for a whole new medicine cabinet. But still, I was very disappointed that the mirror failed. The only glass cleaner recommended for this product is a 50/50 mix of water and rubbing alcohol. The mirror failed around all edges including the top which we didn't clean much because we can only reach the top with a footstool. So it did not fail because we used regular glass cleaner. But nonetheless we will be using the special alcohol mix in the future, and will carefully check the new mirror before its one year warranty expires. I am giving this review 3 stars because the problem only happened with one of the mirrors so hopefully it is rare.

A well thought out medicine cabinet made very well. I wish I had ordered the optional side mirrors though since we were surface mounting it. The mirrors help conceal the many shelling bracket holes on the sides. We ordered the easily mountable mirrors and we are very pleased.

We were disappointed to learn the contractor hadn't allowed for recessed cabinets in our modern master bath. We were looking at simple flat mirrors but the idea of the sink clutter was too unmodern to accept. I shopped long and hard for suitable surface-mount cabinets, most $1-2,000. I was very pleased to find these by Kohler, a trusted brand, and the mirrored side panel kits compensated well for the loss of the recessed look. I was concerned they would block or diminish our Kichler modern vanity lights, but once installed the result is fine. I ordered them ship to home and they came in less than a week. Ship to store would have been 2 weeks! Our installers mounted them easily, having only the usual struggles to find studs or choose drywall sleeves and make them level. It definitely took two people to handle the large cabinets and align them, but beyond that installation was simple. The interior is stunning with mirrors on the back and inside of the cabinet door.

This is a really great addition to an upscale bathroom. It was easy to install (over wall) and looks attractive with most styles or decor. The only thing worth noting is that is looks unfinished without the optional side panels.

worked out fine. Packaged very well.

Perfect medicine cabinet for a stylish, small space

Well made medicine cabinet, nice deep shelves. Carpenter installing it in the wall was very impressed by the size and quality.

This review is for the 20x36 size surface mount. I would look for a different model for surface mount. 1. The mounting hardware is terrible. The bottom mounting bracket doesn’t have pre-drilled holes and it is fairly thick gauge steel. I purchased a pre drilled j channel for hanging mirrors at the local home improvement store and that worked well. The top brackets don’t hold the cabinet tightly so when you open the cabinet door it rattles since it’s a little loose. 2. It doesn’t come with the side mirrors which are needed for surface mount. It’s another $185, you can get entire cabinets for that price. I would expect a more refined product for this price.

Bought this for a bathroom remodel. Need to surface mount but the mirror accessory kit to hide the holes on the side is not in the box. I don’t know if this is an oversight. I’ll wait to see the response from Kohler to rate the product

High quality medicine cabinet mirror. Great finish and large storage inside. Mirror does require some depth so consider anything behind wall when purchasing a deep recessed mirror like this one. Would buy again, HD has the best pricing

Perfect size and very nice interior shelving

Love these cabinets. They are perfect for my small space bathroom

These cabinets are made very well but are expensive, nearly $500 each. I gave 4 stars because they are a pain to hang on the wall and get them level and plumb. The problem is the top clips that are provided to fasten the top edge to the wall. These clips are a poor design and do not clamp the cabinet securely in place. The cabinet won’t come off the wall but can still be moved side to side. Do you want the mirrored side pieces? They are extra and you will have to cough up an additional $175.

Easy install. We’ll made.

Beautiful medicine cabinet

Haven’t installed yet but arrived quickly, well packed, and looks great - good value and design for the price

Ordered 2 of these for our master bath. They are wonderful - love the look and storage space!

Kohler states that it can be "surface mounted" however the visible sides of the cabinet are unfinished and unsightly. Will need to return.

Really beautiful medicine cabinet. I love the mirrors on the inside of the door and cabinet.
