Collection 06
Cabinets, Pantries & Islands
A pantry cabinet at sixty-five inches holds a fortnight of tins and still fits under a cased opening. The kitchen islands come with a drop leaf that folds flat against the side, so you buy the working width you need on a Sunday without living with it on a Tuesday.
16 pieces in this collection. Every card leads with the height and the tier or drawer count.

Anything here that stands on the floor with drawers, doors or shelves belongs anchored to the wall. The consumer safety commission launched its anchoring campaign in 2015 and reported ten years later that tip-over injuries and deaths had fallen by nearly half; the instruction behind that number is the one sentence above. An anchoring kit ships in the carton, the job takes about ten minutes with a drill and a stud finder, and it is the last step of the build rather than an optional extra. That instruction is not ours alone: the source and its reading date are on our updates page.
The rest of inside
Everything here is measured against a wall, a doorway or a stud, and lives where the floor is level and the light is yours to choose.
