If you want to add pullouts to your kitchen, you won't necessarily need to buy custom cabinets. Although custom cabinetry offers the widest variety of options, some features are now available in semicustom work. Another option is to install products you can purchase yourself to modify stock cabinetry.

Long, wide slots are a perfect fit for cutting boards, sheet pans, and otherwise unwieldy kitchenware. These items are easier to handle when stored in a tall, divided pullout, as opposed to stacked on a high shelf. In this kitchen, proximity to the range is a plus.
