The maximizing of storage requires thinking outside the box--literally. If you stick with standard 24"-deep cabinets, you lose storage. This kitchen has 30"-deep counters which means the drawers extend 27"! The drawers under the side-by-side cooktops extend 30".Even the drawers in the toe kick extend 3" farther than the main drawers of a standard kitchen. Note that the middle drawer has the tallest face--you do not have to bend down as far to lift the heavier items that typically end up in the deepest drawer. The top drawers in this kitchen are 7-1/2" tall. Many more items will fit into them, as a result.
