Phil,

I would be concerned about weakening the bottom shelf...

I didn't think that a couple of small holes per cabinet would weaken the
structure significantly, but I wouldn't want anything protruding into the
cupboard space. So yes, I did consider constructing a false base, though I
accept that this approach would cut down on storage.

I'll have a hunt around for potential pelmet material; one possibility, as I
said to Dave, is to use the metallic-finish worktop edging sold for the
range.
