What It Is
The Pinello is a full-extension pull-out drawer system designed for narrow base units in your kitchen. This anthracite version includes four shelves with clean, minimal lines, along with non-slip matting, magnetic dividers, and a bottle partition to keep everything organised as you open and close the drawer.
Where It Fits
This system works in 300mm wide base cabinets, making it particularly useful for those awkward narrow spaces that often become dead storage. Your cabinet needs to be at least 520mm deep internally, with a minimum height of 525mm for the three-shelf version.
How It Works
The entire unit pulls out completely on Blum runners, bringing everything within easy reach. You can choose between soft-close operation or push-to-open for handleless kitchen designs. The shelves come with non-slip matting to prevent items sliding around, while magnetic dividers let you create compartments that suit what you're storing.
Why It Matters
Narrow base units often become black holes where things get pushed to the back and forgotten. The Pinello brings everything to you instead, making these awkward spaces genuinely useful. The bottle partition keeps tall items stable, while the magnetic dividers adapt to different storage needs without tools.
Design Consideration
The anthracite finish works well in contemporary kitchens with dark tones or where you want the storage hardware to recede visually. If you want a fourth shelf, you'll need at least 712mm internal cabinet height when positioned at the top, though it can sit lower without extra height requirements. The 40kg weight capacity handles most kitchen items comfortably.
Build Quality
Blum's LEGRABOX runners provide the smooth operation and longevity you'd expect from this manufacturer. The steel construction with powder-coated anthracite finish should withstand daily use, and the lifetime guarantee reflects the build standard.
Options
Available in both soft-close and push-to-open versions, with three or four shelf configurations. The magnetic dividers and bottle partition give you flexibility in how you organise the space.
Closing Guidance
Consider this system if you have narrow base units that currently frustrate rather than help. Check your cabinet dimensions carefully, particularly the internal depth requirement, and think about whether the anthracite finish complements your overall kitchen scheme.
