Storage & Cabinets

We designed this range around one problem that every room eventually faces: you have more things than places to put them. That sounds simple until you actually measure the gap between what owns you and what fits against your wall. Storage pieces sit at an awkward intersection. They need to hold specific items, match furniture you already own, and occupy a footprint your floor plan left for them. Getting two of those three right is easy. All three takes some honest thinking about what you actually store and where a new piece can physically live.

Before you settle on anything here, grab a tape measure. Check the width and depth you have available, then check again at the narrowest point along the path from your front door to that spot. We list the dimensions of every cabinet because they matter, but the number on the page does not account for baseboards, vent covers, or the space a drawer needs when you pull it all the way out.

A sideboard that clears your wall by two inches still will not work if the drawer front hits your dining chair when opened. Measure the swing radius of any door too. An armoire that fits perfectly closed can block a closet or a doorway the moment you reach inside.

Material choice changes what a piece can honestly hold. Most of our cabinets use engineered wood because it stays flat and resists warping better than solid boards at this width, and it keeps the weight down enough for one person to position it during assembly. Rattan works well for entryway storage where the loads stay light: shoes, umbrellas, the bag you grab on your way out. It will not handle heavy kitchenware or hanging clothing the same way. Metal hardware on drawers tells you more than photos can. Soft-close slides add cost, but they also mean the drawer will not slam shut every time your teenager puts away laundry.

Think about the shape of what you own, not just the volume. A shoe cabinet with fixed compartments fits sneakers and flats neatly, but tall boots may need a different arrangement. Bookcase dividers give you flexibility for changing needs, while a dedicated buffet cabinet organizes dishes at a height that works for serving. Trash can cabinets require enough clearance behind them for the bin to slide out fully without catching on the wall or baseboard. These are the details that determine whether a piece solves your problem or becomes one itself.

We assemble every new model ourselves and keep it in a working room for a few weeks before we sell it. That time reveals things specs cannot: whether a handle catches your sleeve, if a shelf sags under real cookbooks, how the color reads next to other furniture morning and evening. Use the measurements. Check your clearances. And if you are deciding between two pieces that both fit, pick the one built for whatever you actually reach for most often.
