Roll-out Shelf
A roll-out shelf, also known as a glide-out shelf, pull-out shelf, sliding shelf, or slide-out shelf is a shelf that can be moved forward in order to more easily reach the contents stored in the back of a cupboard or cabinet without having to bend over. They may also save space, as they can be installed closer together than fixed shelves. Patents for roll-out shelves exist at least as early as the 1800s. Applications Roll-out shelves are found in kitchen and bathroom cabinets, pantries, chests of drawers, vanities, offices, and garages. They can be mounted with hardwood cleats, or with metal slides. 3/4 extension slides provide enough access to reach items in the back of the cabinet. Full extension rails are more costly but can provide better access for special use areas. Some roll-out shelves include shallow wire or mesh baskets.

Shelf (storage)
A shelf (: shelves) is a flat, horizontal plane used for items that are displayed or stored in a home, business, Retailing, store, or elsewhere. It is raised off the floor and often anchored to a wall, supported on its shorter length sides by Bracket (architecture), brackets, or otherwise anchored to cabinetry by brackets, dowels, screws, or Nail (fastener), nails. It can also be held up by columns or pillars. A shelf is also known as a ''counter'', ''ledge'', ''mantel'', or ''rack''. Tables designed to be placed against a wall, possibly mounted, are known as console tables, and are similar to individual shelves. A shelf can be attached to a wall or other vertical surface, be suspended from a ceiling, be a part of a free-standing frame unit, or it can be part of a piece of furniture such as a cabinet (furniture), cabinet, bookcase, entertainment center, Headboard (furniture), headboard, and so on. Usually, two to six shelves make up a unit, each shelf being attached perpendicularl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cupboard
A cupboard is a piece of furniture for enclosing dishware or grocery items that are stored in a home. The term is sometimes also used for any form of cabinet or enclosed bookcase. It gradually evolved from its original meaning: an open-shelved side table for displaying dishware, more specifically plates, cups and saucers. These open cupboards typically had between one and three display tiers, and at the time, a drawer or multiple drawers fitted to them.Andrews, John (2006) ''British Antique Furniture''. Antique Collectors' Club ; p. 226 Types of cupboards Airing cupboard An airing cupboard (or hot press) is a built-in storage space, sometimes of walk-in dimensions, containing a water heater, either an immersion heater for hot running water or a boiler for central heating water (hence, also "boiler cupboard"), or a hot water storage tank.

Cabinet (furniture)
A cabinet is a case or cupboard with shelves or drawers for storing or displaying items. Some cabinets are stand alone while others are built in to a wall or are attached to it like a medicine cabinet. Cabinets are typically made of wood (solid or with veneers or artificial surfaces), coated steel (common for medicine cabinets), or synthetic materials. Commercial grade cabinets usually have a melamine-particleboard substrate and are covered in a high-pressure decorative laminate commonly referred to as Wilsonart or Formica. Cabinets sometimes have one or more doors on the front, which are mounted with door hardware, and occasionally a lock. Cabinets may have one or more doors, drawers, or shelves. Short cabinets often have a finished surface on top that can be used for display, or as a working surface, such as the countertops found in kitchens. A cabinet intended to be used in a bedroom and with several drawers typically placed one above another in one or more columns inte ...

Drawer (furniture)
A drawer ( ) is a box-shaped container inside a piece of furniture that can be pulled out horizontally to access its contents. Drawers are built into numerous types of furniture, including cabinets, chests of drawers (bureaus), desks, and the like. Construction Drawers can be built in various ways using a variety of materials, including wood, various wood composites, sheet metal, and plastic. Wooden drawers are often crafted with a seamless front face, concealing the end grain from the side panels. The corners may feature dovetail joints for added strength or aesthetic appeal, with half-blind dovetail joints commonly used at the front corners to conceal the joint. To secure the bottom piece, a groove is typically cut into the four vertical sides to hold the drawer bottom in place. Handles and locks One or two handles or drawer pulls are commonly attached to the front face of the drawer to facilitate pulling it out from its enclosure. In some cases, drawers may have a ...

Kitchen Appliance Lift
A kitchen appliance lift () is a tiltable shelf, particularly suitable for use with heavy or noisy kitchen appliances (such as stand mixers), so that the machine can be easily stored and run under the kitchen counter. When folded, the lift will typically fit inside a cupboard under the countertop, and when expanded the top of the shelf will usually be level with the countertop and cause the cupboard door having to be left open. The lifting mechanism is often spring-assisted so that the user does not have to lift the entire weight of the kitchen appliance. Width Internal cabinet width (for example measured in millimeters) is a factor that can impact which types of kitchen cabinets a lifter will fit in. Some lifters can be used with several widths, while others must have a specific internal cabinet width (for example 500 mm or 600 mm). Some lifters are made to fit the 32 mm cabinetmaking system. Some lifters are mounted at the bottom of cupboards, while others are ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
