Fun2cook I didn't realize you had questions about my rev-a-shelf. Sorry for the delay in responding - I hope this is still helpful : ) "What are the dimensions of the 2 bins?" Both are 13.5" tall and 8.75" wide. The smaller one is 5.75" deep and the larger one is 12" deep. "How wide is your pull out?" It's 15" wide. "It seems like there is a lot of wasted vertical space. Is there any reason that the bins aren't taller?" The rev-a-shelf bins for this pull out didn't come taller. I could have had a drawer above the pull out so as not to have any wasted space. But to be honest, the extra room above makes it easier to remove the larger bin. When the pull out is pulled out all the way, the smaller bin clears the cabinet . . . but the larger bin does not. That extra height makes it much easier to lift it up and out. Don't forget, it has to be lifted up from it's frame as high as it is tall (13.5") "Do they have lids to contain odors?" These particular bins do not have individual lids. But when the bins are slid in, there is a "lid" that covers them both. Here is a photo to show you what I mean. Also, the photo shows that there is room for a shelf inside the cabinet above the bins. The shelf doesn't make it hard to pull the larger bin up and out like a drawer would.

Here's the link to Arlosmom's BC solution as well as some other really interesting ones. The last couple of posts have links to her photos : she's also very kindly provided dimensions of the drawers in the last post. BC solutions Here's a roughup of what I plan to do. The drawers on the right side, will be full length with the "face" towards you when you pull them out. 3 sides will be about 4 inches high while the "face" side will be very low - maybe even with no side to facilitate easy pulling out of items. The cabinet can be wheeled out to access items which are in long term storage. It will have a door which has a toe kick piece to conceal the wheels. Check out this link for the hardware for the toe kick attachment. http://www.ezkick.net/ This post was edited by gemcap on Sun, Aug 10, 14 at 23:28

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)

I'veused various RAS products for over 31 yrs - back in the day when it was mainly vinyl wire covered baskets. They still work and I'll leave them in the cabinets when they're removed and donated to Habitat for Humanity. I've just purchased a 6" canister pull-out for my new kitchen. Prices are all over the place for the identical product. Do a lot of Google comparison shopping - also eBay.
