Placement Options

The Eket cabinet offers flexible placement options:

• Floor Placement: The cabinet can be placed directly on the floor as a standalone unit.
• Wall Mounting: To free up floor space, the cabinet can be mounted on the wall. If choosing this option, it is essential to purchase the EKET Suspension rail separately. This frame requires one 27½" long suspension rail.
