My wall is only about 2 inches deep, to skinny for a recessed cabinet. It is an old home and the walls in this room oddly have the studs laid flat. It is very sturdy but there is not depth for a medicine cabinet. Has anyone else had this issue

If you have a surface mount cabinet, does the depth obstruct the light from your vanity lights, or cause shadows? Did you get vanity lights that had more depth to compensate? I was planning on the narrow long led tube style lights but I don't know now if the light will fall evenly.

Has anyone semi-recessed a surface mounted cabinet so it only sticks out 2 inches?

Thank you so much!
