Abstract: A cabinet apparatus includes a housing and a door. The housing extends along a central vertical plane. The housing defines a storage space and an access opening into the storage space. The door has a mirror, and the mirror includes a front surface defining a mirror plane. The door is movably mounted to the housing to be alterable between a closed position and an open position. In the closed position, the door encloses the front access opening and the front surface of the mirror faces away from the housing. In the open position, the storage space is accessible via the access opening. When in the open position, the front surface of the mirror opposes the central vertical plane and an acute inclusive angle is formed between the central vertical plane and the mirror plane.
