applefreak 1 Report post Posted February 27, 2008 didn't go for suspended kitchen cabinets due to:1. hard to reach corners2. can't do chopping on the cabinet3. will worry about storing heaving things inside the cabinet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keltong 4 Report post Posted February 27, 2008 Hi, just got my keys for my new flat so now thinking of ideas..wondering if suspended kitchen cabinets will be long lasting?? advice pl...Suspended kitchen...wow...I have to google to understand what it is Saw a nice looking suspended kitchen @ http://www.trendir.com/archives/000836.htmlLooks nice, it almost like having wall mount kitchen cabinet for both up and bottom. You will have to go for reputable designer/contractor as it will be very tricky for the bottom cabinet. It has to be extra strong and sturdy. A nice concept though. If you do not cook often, this may be a showpiece, a talking piece. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hasibee 0 Report post Posted February 28, 2008 (edited) I'm not sure if my kitchen cabinet is considered suspended, especially the bottom half. But i love it bcos it's very easy to vaccum and mop the kitchen floor and when i wash, it dries faster and doesn't touch the cabinet or damage them.Once my washing machine water host broke and flooded my whole kitchen floor. Thank god my cabinets were not damaged bcos they don't touch the floor. Click on my signature header tosee my T-blog for pics... not sure if that is what u r referring to.

Will check on durability. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cheekybee 0 Report post Posted February 29, 2008 Hi,I love suspended cabinets!!My mum's cabinets already lasted her 5 years plus...still ok...when I had my own place I oso opted for suspended ones...now they are about 8 months old....The pros about it is it is easy to clean the floor and it makes the kitchen looks bigger...The cons is you will be having less storage space compared to a full cabinet length...Not too sure about the weight it can sustain though but if it can already hold the weight of a sink and a stove...think the way the carpenters install it should be quite safe...
