According to the method of assembling, there are Framed and Frameless cabinets. Framed cabinets are American cabinets and frameless cabinets are European style.

In framed cabinet, a frame is placed around the front of the cabinet opening. It is also called face frame. It is used to secure the door to the cabinet. Framed cabinets are more expensive than frameless cabinets because they use more material.

In frameless cabinets, there is no face frame and door is hung directly on the cabinet box. Frameless cabinets occupy lesser space than framed ones.

Doors and drawers of the cabinets should operate smoothly.

Don't just go by the looks of the doors of the cabinets because it's the quality and construction of the whole boxes that counts.

While selecting cabinets for your bathroom, keep in mind that your cabinets should match the rest of your bathroom.
