I needed a shallow recessed medicine cabinet for the wall this was going into and this worked well for that purpose. Overall I was unpleasantly surprised at how far this projects beyond the wall (~1" plus the mirror). I also was disappointed to realize it was all plastic instead of metal but that's on me for not reading the description well enough. The magnet is maybe a little too powerful meaning I have to tug the mirror to open the cabinet and due to the plastic nature of it it causes an echo through the wall and my bathroom every time I open it. Overall its okay for the money but wish it were slightly better quality.
