Narrow pull outs ???

14 years ago

I bought a Rev - a - Shelf narrow base pull out from Lowes, but DH said he could make one cheaper so I returned it. That was last summer. Our demo anniversary will be 2 years this May. At the rate we're going on this kitchen, DH will have the narrow pull outs finished by the time my oldest child graduates from high school - he's 10.

So, I'm thinking about biting the bullet and spending the $$ to buy the narrow pull outs.

I've seen 2 brands, of course Rev-a-shelf and Omega's Kitchenmate. Does anyone have an opinion on the Kitchenmate line of pull outs? The price I've seen is slightly better than RAS, but it's hard to judge quality. It says they're made from maple plywood.

Thanks !!!

I can't speak to these brands, but I can tell you that for $2.00 a piece I have about 9 pull-outs of different sizes I got at the Community Forklift (reuse center).

I don't even know if I'm going to have a place to use them, but I have 36"ers I want to make toe kick drawers out of, undersink pull-outs, and a few other things.

Just a thought. Since you're about in as much hurry as I am. :)

This is a question I need an answer to, as well. I'm looking at the rev-a-shelf 5in. wide cabinet pull-out, for a cabinet that is almost useless as is (too narrow). Anyone have experience with this brand or know of a cheaper priced brand?

I don't get to the the reuse store to often, since it's 1/2 hr. away, but I never seem to find the good stuff you find.

I have one next to my fridge for glasses. It is a perfect use of space. It's a rev a shelf and cost about a $100. Worth every penny. What else was I going to do with 5"?

I used a 5" wide RAS pullout unit in a 7.5" wide box. I am using it for spices. It is early, but so far I like it! I have no basis for comparison with Omega or other.

I'd check out the ikeafans website because there are people there who know just how to work with Ikea parts to make anything. I bet it costs little and your dh will get to be handy on it...

I have Dynasty cabinets which are made by Omega. I have a pullout in an upper 12" cabinet for spices, etc. It's been in for only two months, but so far so good....seems sturdy and well made

Unfortunately I don't have a community forklift near me. We do have a HFH Re-Use, but I've never found really good stuff. Just lots of 80's and 90's era cabs, appliances and lights, etc.

I checked out the kitchen mate pull outs, but I couldn't find one place that sold all the sizes/types I needed. Ordering from multiple stores really makes the shipping costs add up.

The Rev-a-shelf fit the bill for my needs. The best prices I found were on Ahturf.com. No free shipping, but they were still cheaper than the other places that DID offer free shipping. I placed the order today. I can't wait to have these in. I feel like we can move forward and attach door fronts & filler pieces.
