Mine are partially (about 50%) recessed...you cannot completely recess or you will be unable to open them.

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

yes mostly a half inch sticks out but you don't see it. They also send mirror strips so that you can cover the part that comes beyond the wall if it bothers you. Head on mirror frame extends beyond inside of cabinet hiding extended part. I think you need this to be able to open the mirror.

This product is not recessed into the wall. There are two notched out hangers at the top (in the back). This product comes with anchors and screws. The anchors are used if you are not drilling right into the studs.I have this in my main bathroom and I love it!

It can be surface mounted or recessed. We have a smaller version in one bathroom that is surface mounted; it came with decorative mirror panels to attach to the sides of the cabinet. We had the larger model recessed in the remodel of a different bathroom. Very pleased with both. There is a mirror on the inside of each door and a mirror panel along the back with glass shelves.

The predrilled bolt/screw type holes exist only on the right side of the cabinet and are recessed on the inside so as not to interfere with the sliding drawer. It would take a lot of woodworking to move it to the left side. Virginia was right on. Al

It may be recessed or just mounted on the flat wall. There are side mirrors to make the unit look very finished. It is a very attractive unit....I really like mine.

Mine is surface mounted and extends from the wall not quite 4.75 inches. For recess mount, the recess portion measures 4.0 inches.

The cabinet recesses into the wall but there is still about an inch between the mirror and the wall itself. The cabinet attaches to the studs in the wall by four screws through the sides of the cabinet box. They are screwed in from inside the cabinet with the mirror open. It is very easy. Installation instructions are available on the website for Nutone.

Am not really qualified to respond to your question re: Studs......but what I can tell you is that the medicine cabinet was installed in a building which was erected circa 1965 and the contractor says it fit perfectly.....I ordered from Amazon because I was unable to find a medicine cabinet that would fit - without altering the opening in the wall.....the medicine cabinet is really nice - did not expect such high quality for the price.... it was a great purchase.....if it fits your space, I promise - you will love it!

The cabinet can be wall mounted or recess mounted. Mine is wall mounted, which I think is a good way to go given the mirrored sides of the cabinet. However, if I measure the depth of the cabinet from the back to the edge where the door rests it would be 3--inhes.

Insofar as I am concerned the picture that I see here is backward. Mine is mounted on the left side of my under sink cabinet and the upper recessed shelf is located against that inner wall. It is a wonderful, well made unit. It rolls easily and has been a great addition to my beautiful new kitchen.

Since you already have the rough opening, please note that when our contractor was redoing our bathroom the pipes went up the wall, so we weren't able to have it flush. I contacted Amazon and we were able to find the mirrored side panels and it was installed. It is a beautiful cabinet.

I actually have it surface mounted and not recessed into the wall. Looks great in my opinion. My Wife thinks so as well. I think it is intended to be surface mounted, which is why I chose it. Hope that helps.

The cabinet fits flush against the wall. The base board has to be cut to accommodate the cabinet.

No, it really needs to be recessed. I don't think it would look good or be secure enough otherwise. But I love it. It was exactly what I needed.

It sticks out about an inch and a half from the wall. Just a standard medicine cabinet on the inside.

it's recessed - you can still see a thin strip next to the wall (so that the doors can open) but it's not really bothersome. It's a really quality product.
