Extra Deep Lowers?
Comments (29)Okay! Just got back from cabinet guy, who said no big deal on the 29" deep cab. He said it wouldn't be a problem at all, and it "wouldn't cost but a couple of extra bucks". The fridge in the insp. is a Liebherr, but I'm going with a FD Samsung. I just used that photo for the narrow pullout next to the fridge. Here is the inside of the Samsung I will buy: The bottom, full width drawer is the Cool Select Pantry. It pulls completely out when the doors are open only 90 degrees, because of the openings left on the doors. The two crisper drawers pull ALMOST all of the way out, but if I needed to actually get them completely out, I could take the bins off of the doors and get them out. Does that all make sense? So I am not too worried about not being able to open the one FD all the way. I do have that weird shallow cabinet by the door. The door can't be moved, and if I make it where the door opens flat, I'd have to give up on having that set of full depth drawers on that side. However - the kitchen I tore out had a full depth cab. there, and the door never opened more than about 45 degrees. The kitchen I tore out was installed in 03. With the new cabinet design, the door will not open perfectly, but it will open a lot more than it ever did before. I understand that in a perfect world, the door would open completely, but I am just trying to get a workable, non-rotten kitchen at this point. I am hopefully not too far away from putting the deposit on the cabs! I am starting to get really excited! Thanks everyone for your help!...See MoreExtra deep base cabinets
Comments (6)My whole kitchen is 30" deep with 27" Blum soft-close pullouts and I LOVE it. My uppers are 15" deep, and raised to 21" above countertop, so I can't reach past the middle of the second shelf, but that's fine for me. The only drawback is that my 4' 10" mom can't reach the disposal switch on the back wall, so she uses a wood spoon to turn it off and on....See MoreIkea Pantry and 24" Deep wall cabinet weight capacity?
Comments (4)An over the refrigerator cabinet is supposed to be attached on at least 3 different sides and multiple points per side. So, both sides and the top, a side, the top and the back or the back and both sides. So, you likely need a panel on one side and then the over the ref cabinet and then the pantry. The panel is attached to the base cabinet side and the wall cabinet. The over the ref cabinet is attached to the panel, the back wall and the side of the pantry. There are a couple of other issues to think about - the location of the electricity (so the unit can be plugged in but not have the plug push the ref too far forward off the receptacle), the depth of the ref and how built-in you'd like it to look (in case you need to pad stuff forward a bit), plus keeping the ref doors in front of the panels and the pantry doors. Also consider if the pantry doors bind on the ref doors and check that the handles on the pantry can't be hit by the ref doors when open. Also the height of the ref door hinges and whether your total ceiling height allows for the cabinet size you've chosen plus a little extra for those hinges, leveling the ref and leveling the cabinet run. The ref manufacturer will specify some gaps for air circulation, check those too. If you think you'll bend the cabinets or panels with the weight load, attach some 1/2" ply to the back of the pantry cabinet in front of the dust cover that ikea supplies - meaning inside the cabinet. It needn't be complete - more like a 6-8" tall strip at the top and bottom and then in middle. Ikea drawers are not full depth so their function will not be impacted in any way. Just screw right through it when installing the cabinet. Another weirdo thing to remember about tall cabinets like the pantry. You need more height than the height of the cabinet to stand it up. Double check that before attaching the feet....See MoreExtra space to Butler’s pantry or closet
Comments (3)It should also be noted that this is my only pantry. So it will be used as both a butlers pantry and regular pantry....See Morefunkycamper
