I'm often just specifying these when it's RAS or Hafele but have put about everything in somewhere for someone personally. Only do them as aftermarket if I can't get them from factory or it is a (talented) DIY on a budget and then I'm careful which ones. If an installer is getting paid the factory is cheaper and better way to get them in the long run. - spice rack in drawer = Good item, put em in most kitchens, I personally prefer the plastic one but seem to use more wooden ones - drawer knife storage - wave style ones are better than RAS or Hafele and less money- try cutleryandmore or williams sonoma... - make up vanity - base cabinet grooming storage works best just as in the picture anything else, do without the ss bin for hair dryer, if your not putting it in hot avoid that- surprisingly tough install- I'd avoid - fold down ironing board - OK there is a brand that just does ironing boards that seems better- it's late and can't remember name. Have put in several of the drawer ironing boards from RAS though and those are fine Other stuff- -tray dividers- these I do aftermarket all the time-RAS-cheap, easy install, easy to change, really useful for large fry pans, cutting boards, platters...- The "all drawer" folks don't know what they are missing without at least one base cabinet with these (mixed with a ro and shelf), might be my second favorite accessory (next to adjustable drawer dividers) I use the short singles in bases and full depth fridge cabinets- the double fits in a wall cabinet (note the hafele wood insert one can be made to fit odd places niceley) -as noted the top end RAS trash pullouts are the best, worth every penny- they now also have a good bottom glide one for vanities (and with a little creative ordering and cabinet work for offices.) -hafele chrome pullout towel bar is better, don't like the plastic ones with fat fingers -under sink trash often use a hafele with door opener but sometimes the RAS as above- watch placement on the SS double bin shown- set it too far back and you can't get the second pail out -on the door trash- round RAS- square hafele -cutlery inserts and other drawer inserts- more options in hafele -also under sink have been using the Hafele Portero (and in odd cabinets like where there was a gas cutoff) for oils, vinegar etc. -pull out pantry- hafele -blind corners- Hafele Lemans, for budget the RAS half moon pull out (often the opening size is the deciding factor though). Won't put in the RAS wire basket blind corner thingy ever again - haven't tried the Hafele magic corner. RAS discontinued one that fit in smaller openings that was sturdy and easy. -wall susans- Hafele twister (for budget just get shelves and go to BBand Beyond) -base susans- hafele Suzi Q with frameless or inset- otherwise the best the factory offers- never aftermarket. -base pullouts- Hafele has better options (new Smart Cab is worth a look- easy install), careful with base pullouts with glides on only one side, for wooden ones I'm usually specking something I designed or using one from the factory or doing something on site with rollouts and drawers, RAS as a last resort -filler pullouts- RAS (particularly the SS perf ones)

Well, I finally got this thing done! I appreciated everyone's ideas. I knew that putting spices in the pullouts just would not work with all the other stuff that I had to get into the pullouts. I had still intended to use the pulldown spice rack in one of the pullouts, but alas, with the side rails taking up space, the pullout was just a 1/2" too narrow. So, I went with about Plan Q and managed to move enough things to the top two pullouts to make room for the door-mounted spice racks in two top cabinets. In all, we put in four pullouts (one more below the bottom one shown in the photo below) and moved around the door-mounted spice racks. I still miss my old (small) walk-in pantry, but this seems to be workable now.

I have one like Homechef's next to the cooker and use it the same way...using only two shelves with vinegars, oils, oyster sauce, hot sauces, etc....plus cayenne, garlic powder, Cavendars, i.e., the most often used or tall condiments associated with stove top cooking. I like it for how I use it. But using anything more than two shelves would be a PITA because it would be hard to see the stuff on the middle shelves and a little difficult to retrieve them. IOW's not at all ideal for rows of small spice jars (though labeling the top of the jars would help.) My favorite way to store spices is only narrow shelves with the spices only one layer deep in a between-the-studs wall cabinet. I've had such storage in a couple of kitchens (though they were never 'big enough' to fit my collection of spices) but no way to incorporate one in this kitchen. But if you have the wall space, that is what I would suggest as a good way to deal with them. However, given that you are thinking of using it in an island, a 9" pullout would be great next to the sink to store cleaners, DW detergent, liquid soap, etc.

mushcreek: thanks for posting this tip! Just curious: what did you do with the two extra trash bins that came with the Rev-A-Shelf? I'm trying to fashion a similar setup under my sink and need to get creative. The RAS 35qt pictured on the Lowes site has the bin's 14-1/2" dimension running left to right (which is better for my sink); yet yours is turned so the narrower/10-3/8" side of the bin faces forward. Does this mean the lower metal bracket/base of the RAS is adjustable? Depth will be an issue for me unless I can get DH to simplify the pipe connections underneath the sink. Thanks.
