Product description (continued): The sleek mirrored door of the cabinet opens upward, allowing the seamless mirror to span up to four feet wide. An aluminum handle enables effortless two-finger lifting of the door to avoid smudging the mirror, while the door has a position-hold feature that allows it to remain in a partially open position.
The Uplift cabinet provides storage solutions for many of the diverse items kept in a bathroom. If a homeowner needs to organize makeup, tweezers, first aid supplies and medicines, the Uplift cabinet includes an option for a flexible organizer shelf with movable compartments to meet changing needs. And what to do with those multiple electronic personal care items such as electric shavers and curling irons? This cabinet offers outlets for up to six electronic devices. It’s also easy to find stored personal items as Uplift’s interior lighting turns on as soon as the door is opened. Users can find their items even when the room is dark.
Robern’s research reveals that a growing number of people are multi-tasking in their bathrooms. As they get ready for the day or evening, they may want to learn about the latest news and weather. Some homeowners have addressed this desire by installing televisions and radios in their bathrooms, but this just contributes to clutter. By incorporating an optional TV mount for an LCD television and a discreet wiring enclosure to contain all unsightly wires, the Uplift cabinet brings digital media into the bathroom without adding clutter. The position-hold Uplift door enables users to lift the mirrored door enough to see the television and access supplies on the bottom shelf, while they can still look in the mirror to style their hair.
