Layout change?

16 years ago

My layout has been finished for quite some time now. In fact, the cabinets are sitting in my living room! However, I'm starting to second-guess one of the choices I made. The layout now includes two 18" four-drawer units side-by-side. I planned to use the drawers to store my flatware, small gadgets, cooking utensils, plastic wrap/foil/wax paper/large storage bags, smaller bags/paper bags, trash bags, bread, snacks.

My question is this:

Should I get one 36" four-drawer unit instead? I would gain storage space (about 4" per level of drawers) due to the cabinet box/frame/slide space that would no longer be there with two units.

I could combine the storage along these lines using dividers or boxes:

flatware/small gadgets

cooking utensils

plastic wrap/foil/wax paper/large storage bags/small storage bags/paper bags/trash bags

bread/snacks

or something like that.

The cost for the units would be about the same, even given the 15% restocking fee.

Would one 36" unit look better than two 18" units? Would it function better?

If it helps (I don't have a scan of that side of the kitchen) the line of cabinets is

36" three-drawer pot and pan unit

30" range

18" four-drawer unit

18" four-drawer unit

dishwasher

sink base

trash pullout

corner cabinet

I'd appreciate any thoughts you all might have!
