- What are slide-out shelves?
Slide-out shelves are custom-built shelves that are installed inside existing cabinets that slide in and out, making your home storage easier to access and get to items in the back of your cabinets. The term shelf actually refers to more of a drawer box that is installed in your cabinet.
- How do slide-out shelves differ from traditional fixed shelves?
Traditional fixed shelves cannot be moved in and out. Slide-out shelves, on the other hand, are able to be pulled out of your cabinet, allowing you to access items stored in the back of the cabinet more easily. - How are slide-out shelves installed?
Slide-out shelves are custom-made to fit the dimensions of your cabinets. They are installed by our employee craftsmen using special runners or tracks, which allow the shelves to slide in and out smoothly. - Can slide-out shelves be installed in any type of cabinet?
Slide-out shelves can be installed in most types of cabinets, including base cabinets, pantry cabinets, and corner cabinets. - What are the benefits of installing slide-out shelves?
The benefits of installing slide-out shelves include increased access to cabinet space, improved accessibility to items stored in the back of the cabinet, improved home storage and organization, and money saved by not wasting groceries that go lost at the back of a cabinet. - Will I lose storage space in my cabinets after having slide out shelves installed?
The short answer is yes. Long answer is what you loose in space you gain in function and access – since slide out shelves must fit between the left and right opening of your cabinets, you will lose the space along the sides behind the face frame. However, what you gain when a slide shelf is installed, is complete access to the back of the cabinet. Likely before slide outs, you had to remove all the stuff in front of your shelf in order to reach your items at the back. - How much does it cost to install slide-out shelves?
Each solution is custom-made and designed for your organization needs. The price typically ranges from $2,000 to $8,000. Sometimes more if slideouts are installed in all areas of your home. - How long does it take to install slide-out shelves?
Our expert craftsmen have installed anywhere from four slide outs to 44 slideouts, and we have successfully installed all the slide out shelves in a single day! - Do I need to empty my cabinets before installing slide-out shelves?
Yes, you will need to empty your cabinets before installing slide-out shelves. - Can I install slide-out shelves myself?
While it is possible to install slide-out shelves yourself, it is recommended that you hire a professional installer to ensure that the shelves are installed correctly. - What materials are used to make slide-out shelves?
Our slide out shelves are custom made of birch wood. - How thick are the side walls and bottoms?
Most have ⅝” thick or ½” thick sides and the bottom of the slide outs are either ¼” or ½” thick based on the needs. - How much weight can slide-out shelves hold?
Each slide out can hold up to 100 lbs. Think of this as over 120 Cambell’s soup cans. KitchenAid mixers are great on a slide out. - Are slide-out shelves easy to clean?
Yes, slide-out shelves are easy to clean. Simply wipe them down with a damp cloth or sponge. Some clients choose to place a liner on the bottom. - Can I choose the height of the sides of my slide-out shelves?

Yes, slide-out shelves can be installed in cabinets with a center support, commonly known as a stile. Many times we recommend cutting the stile off at the top and the bottom and reattaching it to the left door. This provides access to more storage space than the two small openings. - How do I know if my cabinets are suitable for slide-out shelves?
Most cabinets, old or new, are suitable for slide-out shelves. With our expert experience, we can find a solution that will make your home’s storage space more functional. - Can slide-out shelves be installed in cabinets with existing shelves?
Yes, slide-out shelves can be installed in cabinets with existing shelves. Sometimes we will mount slide outs to your existing shelves and other times we recommend the shelves be removed to gain better storage and accessibility. - Are slide-out shelves adjustable?
Some slide-out shelves are adjustable inside of a cabinet, while others are fixed in place. It depends on how the slide outs will be used. Most pantry cabinets are installed with adjustable slide outs and slide outs in lower bottom cabinets are fixed in place. - Can you add pull out shelves to existing cabinets?
Yes, that’s the great thing about our custom slide out shelves. They are made to fit your existing cabinets. No need to have a complete kitchen remodel to make your home storage spaces easy to use. - Are pull out shelves worth it?
