Pinello base pull-out with tea towel rail in anthracite

This is a pull-out storage unit designed to fit inside a 300mm base cabinet, turning what would typically be a narrow cupboard into organised, accessible storage. The Pinello system combines multiple shelves with a tea towel rail, creating a compact solution for oils, spices, cleaning supplies, and kitchen linens.

Where It Fits

You'll find this works well in those awkward narrow spaces beside your cooker or at the end of a run of units. It's designed for 300mm wide base cabinets and needs at least 520mm internal depth to operate properly. The anthracite finish suits contemporary kitchens, particularly where you want storage to recede rather than stand out.

How It Works

The entire unit pulls out on Blum's LEGRABOX runners, bringing everything within easy reach. You get three or four shelves depending on your cabinet height, each with non-slip matting to prevent items sliding around. Magnetic dividers let you create compartments for different items, while a dedicated bottle partition keeps taller items secure. The tea towel rail sits at the front, always accessible.

The soft-close mechanism means the unit glides back into place without slamming. If you're planning a handleless kitchen, you can specify the push-to-open version instead.

Why It Matters

Narrow base cabinets often become black holes where items get lost at the back. This system changes that completely. You can see everything at a glance and reach it easily, whether it's the olive oil you use daily or the specialty vinegar you reach for occasionally. The tea towel rail means you're not hunting through drawers for clean cloths.

Design Consideration

This works best when you have genuine storage needs for the types of items it's designed to hold. If your narrow cabinet is mainly for show or you prefer deeper storage solutions, a simpler pull-out shelf might serve you better. The multiple components also mean more visual complexity when open, which some people find busy.

Build Quality

The steel frame and shelves are powder-coated in anthracite, which resists wear and cleaning products well. Blum's LEGRABOX runners are engineered for smooth, reliable operation over many years. The system is rated to carry 40kg, more than adequate for typical kitchen storage.

Options

You choose between three or four shelves based on your cabinet height. The fourth shelf requires at least 712mm internal cabinet height if positioned high, but can work in standard height cabinets if positioned lower. The motion can be either soft-close or push-to-open for handleless designs.

Consider how you actually use your narrow base cabinets and whether this level of organisation matches your storage habits. The investment makes sense if you'll use the different zones it creates.
