Can I add pull-outs to my existing cabinets?

Not through us. We sell cabinets with the storage built in at the factory — we do not fit hardware into boxes that are already in your house. If you are keeping your current cabinets, a hardware store that sells retrofit organizers is the better stop.

Does the storage add much to the price of the order?

Some of it does. Roll-out trays and drawer dividers are modest; pull-out pantries and corner mechanisms are more. Cabinets start at $3,000, and the storage you choose is one of the things that moves the number from there. We price it line by line so you can see what each piece costs and drop what is not worth it.

Are drawers really better than doors and shelves?

Below the counter, almost always. A drawer brings everything to you; a shelf makes you kneel and reach. The honest downside is cost — drawer boxes and slides cost more than a shelf and a hinge. Most people who have lived with both pay the difference without regretting it.

What is the best solution for the corner cabinet?

There is no single best one — it depends on the kitchen and the budget. A lazy Susan uses the space and costs least; a blind corner pull-out is easier on your knees; corner drawers cost most and waste least. Come in and we will walk your layout against the options.

Do you sell the organizers separately, without cabinets?

No. The storage is part of the cabinet order — it is built into the boxes when they are made. That is also why it is worth deciding now rather than after the cabinets arrive.

Custom Kitchen Storage Solutions

The storage is decided when the cabinets are ordered — not afterwards. Most of what people wish they had has to be built into the box.

The point.

Storage is decided when the cabinets are ordered, not afterwards. A pull-out pantry is a cabinet that is built as a pull-out pantry. A corner solution is a corner cabinet that is built around its mechanism. The dividers, the roll-out trays, the appliance garage — all of it goes into the order, and once the boxes are made, none of it can be added without starting over.

That is why this page exists. Most of what people wish they had in a kitchen has to be built into the box, and the people who wish they had it are usually the people who skipped this part of the order. Think about it now, while it is still a decision rather than a regret.

What can go in.

This is the working list. You will not want all of it — almost nobody does — but it is easier to cross things off than to think of them later.

None of this is fitted afterwards. It comes built into the cabinets when we order them, it arrives with the delivery, and it works the day your installer sets the boxes. We supply the cabinets with the storage built in — the fitting is arranged by you, the same as the rest of the cabinets.

The dead corner.

Every kitchen has one, and it is the single most common storage regret we hear about. Two runs of cabinets meet, and the box behind the corner door is the deepest, darkest hole in the room. Whatever goes in first never comes out. Here are the real options, and what each one costs you.

Lazy Susan

The rotating shelf. It uses the corner fully and costs the least of the real options. The trade: things fall off the back of the shelf, and it never feels precise.

Blind corner pull-out

The shelf slides out of the box and swings to you. You reach everything without kneeling. The trade: the mechanism eats some width, so you give up storage to gain access.

Corner drawers

Drawers built into the corner, opened on the diagonal. Nothing gets lost. The trade: it is the costliest option and it needs the cabinets on both walls planned around it from the start.

Dead corner with a plain door

The cheapest choice, and sometimes the right one. If the corner is small or the layout puts it behind an island, a plain door and a reach-in may be all it deserves.

The honest summary: every corner solution trades money or width for access. There is no option that gives you all three. Pick which one you are willing to spend, and the choice usually makes itself.

Drawers versus doors on base cabinets.

The honest case: deep drawers are better for almost everything below the counter. A drawer comes to you — you open it and everything in it is in view and in reach. A door and a shelf make you kneel, reach past what is in front, and guess at what is behind. Pots, plates, small appliances, food storage — all of it lives better in a drawer.

The cost difference is real. A drawer box on heavy slides costs more than a shelf and a pair of hinges, and a run of drawer banks costs more than the same run in doors. That is the whole trade. Our advice, having watched a lot of kitchens get used: put drawers where the heavy things live, doors where the plumbing is, and spend the difference where you will feel it every day.

What to do before you come in.

Open your current cabinets. All of them. Take ten minutes and note two things: what you cannot reach, and what you never use. The pan that lives behind the mixer. The corner you gave up on. The drawer that is too shallow for anything you own.

That list is worth more than any catalogue, because it is about your kitchen and not a model one. Bring it in — on paper, on your phone, in your head — and we will match it against what can be built into the order. A rough sketch with measurements helps too, but it is not required.
