Qanto Corner Unit with Aluminium Frame

The Qanto Corner Unit with Aluminium Frame is a vertical lift system designed to solve the storage puzzle that every corner cabinet presents. Instead of crawling into dark recesses or losing items at the back, you get a motorised platform that brings everything up to worktop height at the touch of a button.

Where It Fits

This unit works in corner base cabinets where you need the space to count. It requires a 650mm minimum worktop depth and 696mm clearance above the unit when extended, so your kitchen needs reasonable ceiling height. The 564mm square footprint means it suits most standard corner cabinet configurations.

How It Works

Touch a button and the platform rises smoothly from the cabinet floor to worktop level. The bottom shelf can carry 15kg, the top shelf 10kg, giving you 25kg total capacity. Integrated LED lighting illuminates the contents as they rise, so you can see exactly what you're reaching for.

Why It Matters

Corner cabinets often become storage graveyards where items disappear and backs get strained. This system makes every inch accessible without bending or stretching. Heavy appliances like stand mixers or slow cookers stay stored but become genuinely usable, rather than gathering dust because they're too awkward to retrieve.

Design Consideration

The aluminium frame finish gives a clean, contemporary look that works well in modern kitchens with handleless doors or metal accents. The dark grey colour coordinates with many current kitchen schemes. However, this is a substantial piece of engineering that takes up the full corner space, so you're committing that entire cabinet to this storage solution.

Build Quality

Made by Ninka for Blum, this arrives fully assembled and GS certified for safety. The mechanism is robust enough for daily use, and the plug-and-play design means installation is straightforward. The weight limits are realistic for kitchen storage rather than optimistically high.

Consider whether your corner cabinet gets enough use to justify this investment. If you currently avoid that space because it's impractical, this could genuinely change how you use your kitchen. If the corner works fine as basic storage, you might prefer a simpler solution.
