Operation and Usage

The Shintenchi Over The Toilet Storage Cabinet is designed for versatile storage in various rooms.

• Storage Capacity: Utilize the enclosed cabinet with its adjustable shelf for items you wish to keep out of sight, such as toiletries, cleaning supplies, or personal items. The open shelf below the cabinet is ideal for frequently accessed items or decorative elements.
• Adjustable Shelf: The internal shelf can be adjusted to three different heights to accommodate items of varying sizes. To adjust, remove the shelf, reposition the shelf pins to the desired level, and reinsert the shelf. You can also remove the shelf entirely for larger items.
• Multi-functional Placement: While primarily designed for over-the-toilet use, this cabinet can also be placed over a washing machine in a laundry room or used as a freestanding storage unit in other areas like an entrance or living room, provided the dimensions fit.
