I am replacing the cabinets in my kitchen.
I know! I have a old thread on this that I have been remiss in not keeping up to date. I promise that I will catch up this weekend with a current posting.
Anyway, back to this thread. My original intent in updating my kitchen was to just upgrade the current materials, but keep the configuration the same. Basically just duplicate what was there, but better, as it would go a lot faster that way.
Well things have changed somewhat because...well because I am an idiot!
I noticed that right next to the refrigerate would be the perfect place for a full depth pantry cabinet giving us a lot more storage. The way the existing lower box widths worked out, with some modification with the uppers I could have a space for this new cabinet. I was not satisfied in a quiet celebration over obviously being more intelligent than the original kitchen designers, but needing the further stroking of my ego I made the mistake of pointing this all out to my wife. Well she jumped all over it and there is no way I can not build this now.
Now that you know how I got to this point, I will do that and get to the point. Does anyone have any suggestions for pantry slides. I have googled and come up the Fulterer and Accuride. I need to go back to Lowes, because I notice that the slides on the cabinets in their showroom(custom, not boxed sets) show different styles. I think I want to have a top mounted style. Any suggestions on this vs. bottom mounted? I intend to build it so that the entire door slides out. Any suggestions or links would be appreciated.
