"...A $700 6" spice pullout is an expensive space filler that isn't that usable..." I beg to differ. I have two of them...and they're a lot more useful than empty filler! I fit a lot of items on them that would take up space in other locations and be blocking each other. With my filler pullouts I have my many, many baking sprinkles in one and my most used spices, ingredients (like molasses, honey, cocoa, vanilla), and recipe box in the other. The one w/the baking items is in my "Baking Center" and the one w/spices, etc. is in my Prep Zone - all very conveniently located and very useful! If you put the tallest items on the bottom shelf and the shortest (or most used) on the top shelf, you don't have to lean over that much or that often. Finally, they are too narrow to have items more than two deep, so that means you can pretty much see everything stored in them! My cabinets were already delivered so it was either filler pullouts or empty filler...we had to "fix" one of the many measuring errors by my KD. But, if I had to do it over again, I would try to fit at least one in my kitchen. (Just so you know, filler pullouts are available for both base and upper cabinets.) Oh, and they are not $700...mine were less than $450 each. $700 may be Rev-A-Shelf's "list" price, but not even my KD would charge that much for them! [In the interests of full disclosure, I did not pay for mine - I insisted my KD pay for them b/c I lost so much cabinet & pantry storage due to her measuring mistakes! But, they did try to charge me, so I have the change order they tried to get me to sign.] Together... Baking Center side (left of cooktop)... Prep Zone side (right of cooktop)... > Roll Out Tray Shelves (ROTS)...items can fall off ROTS b/c most have short sides. If they have high sides, then they may as well be drawers. Pot/pan/container handles and anything else that might hang off the sides of the shelves can get caught on the frame of your cabinet and ding it - both coming out and going in. And, of course, there's the issue I mentioned previously about being very careful you open the doors fully b/f pulling an ROTS out so you don't ding your cabinet doors; and being very careful about making sure your ROTS is completely closed before closing the doors so you don't ding the doors on the corners of the ROTS when closing the doors! Drawers should not be so deep that you have to stack different items on top of each other...plan your drawers accordingly - I have both 3-drawer and 4-drawer stacks - I planned my storage so other than a few drawers, I don't have to stack things. It's nice having my pots & pans in a drawer mostly one layer deep (pan + lid stored together) so I don't have to shift things around. [FYI...I think webbrowseraz is a spammer...the only posts I could find from him/her - all four (spanning from January to now) - link to the same site with basically the same post as on this thread.]

fustian -- Restoration Hardware has a very liberal return policy. So while you'll be out the shipping charges, if you choose to not use the RH pulls you can absolutely return them, no problems. I purchased & installed on cabinetry (in the old kitchen) some of their longer pulls (in hopes of using them for appliance pulls). Then, when we realized they weren't going to work for our application we removed them and returned them without a single problem. At first I was hesitant to try to return something I'd opened up (they come individually wrapped in plastic baggies) but as I was going in to purchase something else thought I'd at least try to get a store credit. They were willing to return it outright! Not just for store credit. So you'll be okay opening them up and even putting them on a scrap piece (as I'm assuming you won't want to test on your new cabinetry), even if you decide to go with something else.

I came across this post and just wanted to add that in our old house, we had the cheapest of cheap builder grade 80's oak cabinets that were a terrible shade of orangish. DH, like a lot of men, has an issue with painting "the wood!" "You'll never get the same finish!" Well, actually, yes you can as long as you use a good oil based paint. But anyway...so we comprimised and picked up some "Liquid Sandpaper" from Home Depot or Lowes (can't remember which). You put it on with a rag, wait a bit, and then you can apply a new stain--though it should be darker or brighter (cherry) to cover whats there. It works by opening up the surface and allows the stain to penetrate into the finish...then after 2 hours it "closes" back up and holds in the stain. It took us all of a night to do the entire kitchen. We took the doors off and all the hardware of course to get the best finish on the door fronts. Total cost...about 30.00 with plenty of leftover product. And we too had what looked like "wood paper" on the sides of the cabinets but it took the stain just as well as other areas. I believe thats because the stain doesn't actually get all the way down to the wood, but rather gets encased just under the top coat. But I'm not sure, because it certainly looked like the cabinets had always been the new color--the wood grain was apparent and the finish retained a beautiful shine after. I'm not saying its necessarily a permanent fix but the ease and inexpense created instant gratification. And in our new house when we remodeled the kitchen...it was off-white cabinets or else! :) They are just so timeless...
