Waypoint "Custom" cabinet?

4 years ago
last modified: 4 years ago

I am in need of a 'custom' cabinet 36 wide, and approx. 80" H. I have an existing solid wood pull out 'accordion' style pantry cabinet that I want to have transferred into the new cabinets, along the long wall shown below (photo 1)

I am told 50" is the tallest for Waypoint. Some manufactures will make a custom cabinet. Does anyone have insight into this? It is a small kitchen, and the picture attached looks very choppy to me with the "4 doors"

    Waypoint is entry level. No way can you fo what you want in it. And you shouldn’t attempt that with any cabinet line or cabinet maker either. Its a fools errand.

    I think your kitchen may have a serious design problem. How much space between your refrigerator and the wall? If you are going to open the door fully and be able to use the bins you will need around 6” between fridge and wall.

    Thank you. Re: the refrigerator, there will be a 6" spacer to allow the door and drawer space to open. I will post a picture of the pantry cabinet.

    Usually tall cabinets are subdivided to prevent the warped doors. For example, we have pantry above and below is trash pull-out or cabinet. But pantry over pantry is possible too. Just not all one cupboard, usually.

    Thank you. The existing cabinets are solid wood, Quaker built, Assuming they may have been put in when the house was built- 1958. I purchased house a year ago and am remodeling.

    Pantry organizers like your still exist but they are made for cabinets about 50” tall and have a separate section above. It looks like yours was custom to be part of the doors. I don’t think you’ll be able to re-use it.

    If you do that wall of pantry cabinets, you definitely don’t need the tall one that’s cramping your stove area.

    That is going to be tough to keep because of the height of the door pieces. That was hand built. I do still think you can pull it off using the face frame from 2 pantries. Then use a couple of ref end panels to create the "sides" and a place to mount those piano hinges. You will need a good carpenter and go through it with him before hand so all the right components can be ordered.

    Aside from that, you plan really needs some work. You have so many pantries - where are you putting things like glasses? Spices? I would move the ref to the center of that pantry wall and take the pantry that is to the right of the stove and move that to where the ref was. Put a wall cabinet between that cabinet and the window and then reposition the stove between the window and the doorway .

    Or not even do a pantry to the left of the window - have the lowers and uppers turn the corner. You could even have the uppers over there be appliance garages that go down to the countertop if needed.

    Just a few thoughts

    Much appreciated!
    Emilyam819- the tall cabinet near the stove is an ‘appliance’ garage with pullout shelves- spices might also go on an inside door rack- so near cooking area.

    Debbi Washburn- you gave given me a-lot to think about.
    Glasses/ cups are in the ‘ double top drawer (hidden’) inside cabs next to refrigerator , which has the water dispenser on outside) I have confirmed drawer dimensions for cups/glasses to fit.

    Put your spices in a drawer and get yourself some elbow room!

    Of course - it is your kitchen and you should get what you want. I am concerned about the counter space, especially if you are having a larger party and people are gathered around the island. This leaves only one place for you to work.

    Have you looked at other layouts or did someone just do this because its what you said you wanted??
