You need to now how wide your available storage space is so that you can have your MDF cut to size.

Almost any home improvement store will cut wood and MDF; you just need to give them the measurements. Have the MDF cut to size. Do not be afraid to fill up a large space. You can always paint this project the same color as your bathroom walls to help the storage disappear visually.
