Opening methods provided in the design of the cabinet.

The most popular options in this case are hinged doors, hinged doors",
— Drawers. The most common method of opening among modern cabinets for washbasins; in most cases, is the only one, with doors (one or another design) boxes are significantly less common. Such devices, on the one hand, are very simple and inexpensive, on the other - convenient, reliable and practical. Among other things, drawers are usually able to move almost the entire length, and to access their contents do not need to go to the back of the nightstand.

— Swing doors. Doors of traditional design: fastened on the vertical pivot axis and open forward-right or forward-left. This design is familiar and familiar to most users, and it is quite convenient and practical. Therefore, the doors in the modern cabinets for the washbasins are most often made of hinged.

— Hinged doors. Doors on the horizontal axis open forward-down. Noticeably less popular than...the hinged, as the open door protrudes forward and can create inconvenience. However, such devices have advantages - for example, in the same open position, the door can be used as an improvised shelf. In addition, this design is great for built-in laundry baskets; in fact, with such baskets, folding doors are most often used.

— Sliding doors. Very rare option: doors that to open to the left or right. The advantages of this arrangement include the fact that the open door does not protrude ahead of the dimensions of the cabinets; this is especially useful in cramped conditions. On the other hand, the sliding design does not allow to open the entire interior of the furniture - part of it will inevitably be covered by a sliding door. Therefore, and for some other reasons, this opening method is only found in single models, and it is not usually combined with other versions.

— No handle (push-to-open). This feature means that the doors and/or boxes of the cabinets (all or at least part of them) do not use handles, but special mechanisms that work from pressing the outside of the door or box. After such a push, the retainer is switched off and the door/drawer is pushed a little forward (so that you can take the hand and complete the opening). And to close, you either need to simply return the structure to its original position, or press the same way again.
The main advantage of cabinets with the push-to-open function can be called a minimum of protruding parts (or even their complete absence). This, in particular, makes it easier to clean (reduces the number of corners where dirt can accumulate), and also reduces the likelihood of hitting a protruding handle. In addition, a discreet design without unnecessary details is great for bathrooms with a minimalist design. On the other hand, the more traditional concealed handles don't stick out either; and additional mechanisms affect the cost of the product and somewhat reduce its reliability. Therefore, there are few models with push-to-open nowadays.

Additional items and equipment included in the delivery kit in addition to the box/console itself, or provided in its design.

— Washbasin. The washbasin shell itself is the object for which a pedestal/console is initially bought. The presence of this item in the kit not only relieves the owner of additional hassle on search and purchase - the standard sink is also optimally main function installation on the «native» design. On the other hand, the appearance and functionality of the complete washbasin may not correspond to the wishes of the user, so sometimes it is better to buy a cabinet and sink separately.

— Shelves. In this case, additional shelves, dividing the interior of the cabinet into several tiers. This is convenient for placing a large number of comparatively small items (and in the cabinets for the washbasins usually keep these).

— Handles. Handles for opening doors and drawers. This may include both external and concealed handles; the latter have the form of distinctive notches on the ends of doors or boxes. However, such a notch is considered a handle only if it is supplemented by a metal insert.
In turn, the absence of handles in the set usually means that doors and boxes are equipped with either hollows without metal inserts, or the opening mechanism by pressing (push-to-open) or to open...them directly behind the ends. Technically, another option is possible - handles need to buy separately; however, in practice, it is almost not found.

— Closers. Devices that make the closing of doors/boxes somewhat automated and more user-friendly and safe for the construction itself. The main function of the closer - «to pull» partially open or closed door to the extreme position and to keep it in this position, not allowing to accidentally open or close - from the draught, uneven installation of the cabinet, etc. In addition, On the final stretch of movement, the device can brake the door (even if it is pulled with force), preventing too much impact at the extreme position.

— Legs. Feet for installation on the floor, used in models with appropriate installation capabilities (see above). Compared to the whole base, the legs are less demanding to the quality of the floor; therefore, if the even surface in the bathroom has not worked out, on the floor it is recommended to use pedestal cabinets. On the other hand, the legs are less reliable than the solid base, and are more likely to break.

— Laundry basket. Basket for storing dirty clothes before washing. As a rule, it is built into the box itself, and the design of such a device can be different. So, in some models the basket looks like a grille attached to the hinge door, in others this function performs one of the drawers, and so on. N. However, in any case, the closed design prevents the spread of odors from non-stiran clothing. The exact size of the basket may vary; most often it is relatively small, but even such a device will be useful for storing underwear, socks and other small items.

— Bracket. The part for fixing the product to the wall - usually in the form of a «corner», one side of which is attached to the wall, and the other protrudes horizontally. Such parts can be completed in the main console (cf. «Type»). Because wall cabinets usually use other methods of attachment.
