Yes I am in the design process for kitchen cabinets.

I saw this with the paragraph quoted...

Accessing your storage space can be just as crucial as having
storage space in the first place. Eve Barnes notes that the
latest in cabinetry technology makes getting things in and out
of storage as easy as possible: Full-extension drawers,
self-closing mechanisms and glide-and-bumper mechanisms
("For a soft close," she says) are all simple but noticeable
advances in storage technology.

Does anyone know what they are talking about and where to obtain
them, etc. ?

Any cautions, as in they work great for 6 months but a year later...?

Thanks in advance.
