（1）Solid wood material​

Solid wood bathroom cabinets have natural textures and textures, giving people a high-end and environmentally friendly feeling. Common solid woods used for bathroom cabinets include oak, pine, etc. Oak has a hard texture, high density, and good moisture resistance and wear resistance, making it a high-quality material for making bathroom cabinets; Pine wood has a relatively low price, but its texture is soft and prone to deformation, requiring special treatment before it can be used in bathroom environments.

The surface of multi-layer solid wood panels can be covered with various decorative papers or melamine boards, which can imitate different wood textures and colors to meet different design needs. When choosing multi-layer solid wood panels, attention should be paid to the environmental friendliness of the adhesive, and products that meet national environmental standards should be selected to ensure indoor air quality.​

（3）PVC material​

PVC material is a type of plastic material that has excellent waterproof and moisture-proof properties, and is relatively inexpensive. It can be hot pressed to create bathroom cabinets in various shapes and colors, with a smooth surface and easy cleaning. However, PVC material has relatively low hardness, is prone to scratching, and may release harmful substances in high temperature environments. Therefore, when choosing bathroom cabinets made of PVC material, it is important to choose products with reliable quality and pay attention to their environmental performance.​

Hanging bathroom cabinet: hung against the wall, requiring the wall to be a load-bearing wall or solid brick wall. It is beneficial for saving space, easy to clean, with fewer hygiene blind spots, and can effectively prevent moisture from extending into the cabinet, but insulation walls and lightweight partition walls cannot be installed.

Floor standing bathroom cabinet: directly located on the ground, with no requirements for walls, good stability, suitable for bathrooms with dry and wet separation and ample space, but the bottom of the cabinet is difficult to maintain hygiene, and the cabinet is prone to moisture.

• Cabinet installation: Assemble the various components of the cabinet in sequence according to the installation instructions. During the assembly process, attention should be paid to the tightening degree of the screws to avoid being too loose or too tight. After the cabinet is assembled, its overall stability and verticality should be checked to ensure that the cabinet is securely installed.​
• Table installation: When installing the table, attention should be paid to the fit with the cabinet to avoid gaps. For stone countertops, careful handling is necessary during installation to prevent the countertop from cracking. After the installation of the countertop is completed, sealant should be used to seal the gaps between the countertop and the wall, as well as between the countertop and the cabinet, to prevent water vapor from seeping in. ​
• Installation of hardware accessories: The quality of hardware accessories directly affects the user experience of cabinets, such as drawer slides, cabinet door hinges, etc. When installing hardware accessories, follow the instructions to ensure accurate installation position and smooth use. At the same time, it is necessary to regularly maintain hardware accessories, apply lubricating oil, and extend their service life.​

Acceptance inspection​

After the installation of bathroom cabinets is completed, a comprehensive acceptance inspection should be carried out. Check whether the cabinet is firm, whether the cabinet doors and drawers open and close smoothly, whether the countertop is flat, and whether the hardware accessories are installed in place. If there are any problems, it is necessary to communicate with the installation personnel in a timely manner to ensure that the cabinet installation quality meets the requirements. ​​
