Short on space? The wall above the toilet is the most wasted spot in most bathrooms, and this cabinet turns it into proper storage without using any extra floor. It's one of the pieces we recommend first in our guide to small bathroom storage ideas, which covers how to measure and plan the rest of the room.
Over the Toilet Cabinet – 68 Inch Espresso Space Saver with Door and Cubbies
This over the toilet cabinet is a tall, freestanding bathroom unit in an espresso finish that straddles the toilet on two long legs and puts storage in the wasted wall space above the cistern. It stands 68.11 inches high, 23.22 inches wide and 7.5 inches deep, and it is made of MDF. Easy Life Markets sells it in espresso.
The top section has four open cubbies on the left and a compartment with a hinged door on the right, with a long open shelf underneath and a faux-marble ledge just above the toilet. In the supplier's photos the cubbies hold rolled towels and small bottles, the open shelf holds folded towels and a tissue box, and the door hides the clutter you would rather not see. The beadboard-style back panel and the dark finish give it a classic look that sits well with white sanitaryware.
What Is in the Box
The supplier ships it as a single flat-pack carton. It does not give a parts list or say which tools you need, so plan on assembling it yourself with a screwdriver. The towels, bottles and plant in the photos are not included. Contact us if you want the hardware list confirmed before ordering.
Dimensions
The overall figures come from the supplier's specification. The inside measurements come from its dimension photo.

A Straight Answer on the Details
- "Wood" in the old title. The supplier's own material line is MDF, an engineered wood board. It is not solid wood. We describe it as MDF.
- The door panel. The photos show a framed door with a see-through panel. The supplier does not say whether that panel is glass or acrylic.
- Width and depth labels. The supplier's dimension photo places 7.5 inches on the front and 23.2 inches on the side, which looks swapped. From the photos it is clearly about 23 inches wide and 7.5 inches deep.
- Load rating. The 88 lb figure is the supplier's. The supplier does not say whether it applies to the whole unit or a single shelf. Spread heavy items out and keep the heaviest low.
- Anchor it. A tall, narrow unit only 7.5 inches deep can tip forward. The photos show small fittings at the top of the back panel for fixing it to the wall. Use them.
- Not stated: Board thickness, whether wall fixings are supplied, how many shelf positions there are and the door panel material.
About MDF in Bathrooms
Medium-density fibreboard is made from wood fibres pressed together with resin. It is flat, stable and takes a smooth paint finish, which is why it is so common in bathroom cabinets. Its weak point is water. A sealed, painted surface copes well with normal bathroom humidity. Raw edges or cuts that stay wet can swell, so wipe up splashes and keep the room ventilated.
Assembly and Placement
- Lay out all panels on a soft surface and check the parts against the instructions.
- Assemble the upper cabinet first, then fit the legs and crossbar.
- Stand it over the toilet, check that the cistern lid can still lift and the flush works freely.
- Level it and fix it to the wall with suitable wall plugs.
- Set the adjustable shelves to the height you need, then load it.
What to Store Where
- Cubbies: rolled hand towels, cotton pads, spare soap and small bottles.
- Door compartment: medicines, spare toothbrushes, razors and anything you prefer out of sight.
- Open shelf: folded bath towels, a tissue box or a basket of toilet rolls.
- Ledge: a plant, a candle or a reed diffuser. Keep it light, since it sits right above the cistern lid.
Care
- Dust with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
- Wipe up water splashes, especially on the ledge above the toilet.
- Avoid harsh cleaners on the painted finish.
- Tighten the screws every few months.
Who It Suits
Small bathrooms and cloakrooms, rental homes where a vanity cannot be changed, and anyone who needs towel and toiletry storage without giving up floor space.
