Frosted glass doors hide what is behind them while keeping the cabinet from reading as a solid block in a small bathroom - clear glass would display the contents and a solid door would close the wall in. Each shelf takes 11 lbs. The cabinet stands 67 in tall on a 23 x 7.5 in footprint, tall enough to use the wall above a cistern that would otherwise be dead space. MDF with glass weighs 37 lbs. At 7.5 in deep it does not crowd the room in front of the toilet.
