Thank you for the warning. I had planned a Wickes kitchen with
1000mm wall units and I have larger than average loads of tins
and plates.


So stay away from the cheap end of the market. We replaced wall
mounted units with shelves between inward facing walls (reveales?)
The shelves are 1650x350x40mm supported be battens in groves in the
shelf edges, so invisible. No sag. Cheap replacement. Easy access to
plates etc. on the shelf.
