Kitchen Pull Out Cabinets Find Room Where There Is None

Problem

First problem:  moving toaster in and out from inside the wall cabinet.  That cord!  Those crumbs!  Second problem is that weird space you've always hated under the wall cabinets.  Well...toaster, meet weird space!

Solution

Sliders, pull-outs, roll-outs.  Call them what you may, but kitchen pull outs all revolve around one common theme: bringing kitchenware and food items to you, rather than you searching in the dark recesses of your cabinets for these things.

 They also help you carve out space that you didn't think you had--especially great for small, cabinet space-starved kitchens.

Most kitchen cabinet pull outs feature ball-bearing rollers, extra-strong metal framing, and a clever usage of every available square inch.

Use Up:  Flat 2 Inch High Wasted Space Above Top Drawer

Problem

The area above top drawers is completely wasted space.  It's about two vertical inches that the drawer really cannot cover.  Unless you slip in a secret drawer...

Solution

In case you don't notice on first glance, this top, flat slider drawer (Thomasville calls it a "shelf") hides behind the face of the real drawer.  It has no outer profile of its own and thus does not need a face.  This is a Thomasville 2 Drawer Base Cabinet with Sliding Shelf, part of their Performa line.

Use Up:  High, Narrow Space With a Pantry Pull Out

Problem

Kitchen pantry cabinets can be a problem because they extend high, and most people--even the taller ones out there--find it hard to access these areas.  Even if you're tall enough, it's difficult to reach far enough in.  And...even if you're tall enough and can reach, it's just so dark in there!

Solution

Another offering from Thomasville's space-saving Performa line, this easy-to-slide kitchen pantry pull out maximizes every available square inch and allows for each storage of large food items (pasta, canned goods, cereal boxes) or non-food items (paper towels, napkins, etc.).

 Access is easy when it's at head-level, and when it's exposed to light from the kitchen.

Problem

Have you ever considered all of the wasted space next to kitchen base cabinets in those extremely narrow, almost razor-thin, sections?  Most of the time, these areas are considered too skinny to even bother with.  But what if you could use them...somehow?

Solution

Armstrong's ChefCenter line takes care of that. Its Base Side Pull Outs, in 3 inch or 6 inch widths, fill in these typically blank spaces.

Base Side Pull Outs let you store small items such as spices or flat kitchenware such as baking pans and cookie sheets.

Problem

Your cabinets have 2.2 cubic inches of wasted space.  You cannot live with those 2.2 empty cubic inches; it keeps you up at night.  You must eradicate those 2.2 cubic inches and use to full advantage!

Solution

I can already picture the edict from the CEO to the cabinet designers:  "Make me a cabinet that uses up every available cubic inch of space!"  After hitting the drawing boards, this--the SuperCabinet--is what they produced.

I'm not given to hyperbole about cabinets, but this one is truly amazing.  The Thomasville SuperCabinet has a toe kick drawer, racks on the backs of cabinet doors, three smooth-rolling drawers, and pull out shelves.
