We recess-mounted it & the installation was very easy. Just had to frame it out, stick it in the hole, and put the screws through the sides. The shelves are very short with the bottommost and topmost shelves being a little taller, so you can’t fit many taller bottles in it. I have noticed that the mirror itself isn’t flawless, with a couple minor warps in your reflection, but overall I’m very satisfied with it. Very worthwhile for the price point.
