        1. The product will be suitably sized for a small ensuite.

          1. Wall mounted to reduce the space that is required for in in a small ensuite.
            1. Suitably sized to store the cosmetics and products i intend to use it for.
          2. Sustainability
            1. Manufactured board: this would a very sustainable material from which to make my product as many types are recycled
              1. Softwood: these are much less expensive to buy as they grow much more quickly, therefore they are a much more sustainable source for my product.
                1. Hardwood: this is not a very sustainable soure as hardwood trees take a long time to grow.
                2. Materials and Components
                  1. Wood
                    1. Hardwood
                      1. A hardwood could be a much better choise for a bathroom setting as it is slightly more water resistant than various other woods.
                        1. Hardwoods however are prone to warping, some contain acid which can corrode steel whice could damadge any hindges or handles in the product.
                        2. Softwood
                          1. The benefits of using a soft wood are that it has a nice colour and grain pattern and it grows quickly, it is also light weight.
                            1. However softwood is prone to warping an knots can fall out and leave holes, taking away from the over all look of the product.
                            2. Manufactured boards
                              1. However the majoraty of hardwoods are not good around water and soak a lot of it up and some types of manufactured board are not very strong and often
                                1. Manufactured boards could be an inexpensive alternative and canbe laminated and are plywood is good around water.
                            3. Performance requirements
