Pots/Pans pullout storage - Rev A Shelf Opinions?

14 years ago

Has anyone ever used this kind of pots/pans storage? What is your opinion of the use of space? I am considering using this pullout in a 24 inch cabinet.

    OK, not the response you're looking for, but when I saw the picture, my first thought was that someone stuck a tricycle in a pullout!

    Looks cool, whether it's a trike or pots and pans!

    LOL - That's funny. New Christmas gift hiding spot? :)

    I agree, it does look interesting, but is it as advertised? Hmmmmmm

    I looked long and hard at that on a couple of websites, and eventually decided to go with regular tray pullouts. The thing that was tempting me was the separate lid tray, and the neat and compact storage. But then I thought about my pans (not a matching tricycle-red set) and whether it would honestly slot into place like a perfect jigsaw puzzle and my DH would remember what goes in which slot. And I thought the handles would end up being a tangle.
    If I'd seen it in a store, maybe I would have re-convinced myself that it would work, but I decided not to trust to luck on a web purchase.

    I just saw these in Lowes today, and I have to say I thought they didn't use the space very well. I'd go for the regular two basket/tray rev-a-shelf instead.

    Empet - It sounds as though I am in the same position you were in. Many of the same concerns... Thanks for posting.

    Conchita - Lowes! I never even thought of looking there! Thank you. Nothing like seeing it in person to help decide.

    I have seen them in person. I think a deep drawer with well placed dividers can give you just as much storage with more flexibility.

    It looks cool, but I am wondering what you are doing in the corner. Where I think rev-a-shelf rocks is their corner pullouts.

    july- I have the pot rack you posted. I posted a thread back in march asking if anyone had it and liked it. Didn't get a ton of response, but the ones I got were favorable. So I went ahead and ordered it. Now 9 months later, my kitchen reno still hasn't started. I couple months ago I asked my DH to install it into the existing cabinet where we keep our pots and pans. Before I had this rack, I had to make sure my cats were out of the room as the noise of extracting a pot from the jumble was very loud and scared the *cat food* out of them. Anyway, I LOVE IT! Life changing. My pots and pans have a specified slot to go into, it's not loud to take them out. It's just great. Now, my 2 (13") largest pans do not fit in it, but the majority do fit. I will just have to find some place to store those really big pans, which is no big deal. In my current kitchen I have it installed so that you have to open the (existing) doors and then pull out. New kitchen will have it installed with a panel in front like in the picture you posted.

    Waterdamage - Thanks for your opinion. Right now I have pots and pans in drawers and it works just great, but I have a lot more drawer space to work with. I hadn't thought about adding dividers though... that might be the key.

    Cindy - Nice use of a corner there! We don't have any corners in our galley style kitchen.

    Jenhp - Thank you for posting your "real life" use of the product! Great to hear it is working for you.

    By the way, if anyone is interested, I have found the product at Lowes for $139.
