Pinello internal base pull-out with shelves in anthracite

This is a complete pull-out storage system designed for narrow base cabinets, typically those awkward 150mm spaces that often become hard-to-reach voids in your kitchen. The Blum Pinello system turns these slim spaces into organised storage with three pull-out shelves that glide smoothly on soft-close runners.

Where It Fits

You'll find this most useful in those tight gaps beside your hob or between appliances where a standard drawer won't fit. It works in any base cabinet with a 150mm external width, though your cabinet needs to be at least 508mm deep internally. If you want to use the optional third shelf in its higher position, you'll need 712mm internal height, otherwise the standard cabinet height of 525mm works fine.

How It Works

The entire frame pulls out smoothly, bringing all three shelves with it so you can see and reach everything stored inside. The shelves themselves have a distinctive clean-lined design and come with grey non-slip matting to stop items sliding about as you open and close the unit. Four magnetic dividers let you create compartments of different sizes, and there's a specific bottle partition to keep tall items secure.

Why It Matters

Those narrow spaces in your kitchen often become forgotten zones where things get pushed to the back and lost. This system makes every centimetre usable and accessible. You can store spices, oils, cleaning supplies, or tall bottles in an organised way that actually works in daily use.

Design Consideration

The anthracite finish gives you a contemporary look that works well in modern kitchens, though it will show fingerprints more readily than lighter colours. The system works best when you're dealing with genuinely narrow storage needs. If you have the option of a wider cabinet, you might get better storage efficiency from a standard drawer system.

Build Quality

This is built around Blum's hardware, known for smooth operation and longevity. The steel construction handles up to 40kg, which is generous for this type of storage. The soft-close mechanism uses Blumotion technology, so the unit closes gently and quietly. The LIRO shelving system is designed to accept any 6mm thick material, which gives flexibility if you want to customise the look later.

Consider how you'll actually use this narrow space in your kitchen. If it's genuinely the only way to make a tight spot work efficiently, this system does the job well.
