Can anyone recommend a supplier of shallow (<20cm deep) kitchen cupboards.
 

My kitchen is very small, though tall, kitchen and want to wall mount
some particularly shallow cupboards for cooking ingredients. Nothing
like as shallow as spice racks but I want mine to be no deeper than
20cm so I can easily reach the items and the jars and packets at the
front don't obscure the items at the back.

Does anybody know a high street supplier that offers a shallow range
of cupboards like these? All I have seen at regular stores are 30-40cm
deep.

Thanks, I did think of that but I really want to find designs already
made to this depth. If that fails I will do as you say.

I did that with the IKEA kitchen wall cupboards to make bathroom
cupboards. Worked out a tiny fraction of the cost of fitted
bathroom cupboards, which tend to be both expensive and totally
crap in terms of any robustness. You'll want to buy a dowel kit
too, as you lose some of the assembly fixings having cut down
the cupboards and will likely need at add some to compensate.

Yup, or another option is to use those plastic blocks with holes in.
Thats the easiest for newbies I think. Or fix it to the wall in several
places. Or glue strips along the corners. Or just glue the sheets
together at assembly. No lack of options :)

Wish I knew of a semi-waterproof version of white covered chip.
Melamine bathroom cabs are like putting papier mache outdoors.
