11980287 · 2024-05-14 ·

A backward-angled, dual-frame, open cabinet system that is minimalist in design. The open, dual-frame system eliminates hiding spots for common pests, such as mice and roaches. The cabinet does not have a back leg that extends down to the floor, and the cabinet is hung from a wall, or placed back-to-back with another cabinet. Adjacent cabinets can share a common subframe. The metallic design withstands high humidity and common abuse associated with heavily-used spaces. It is easy to clean, and it minimizes common repair costs. The cabinets have faces that can be replaced as needed, or refaced completely, at a lessor cost. The storage area is further maximized by eliminating the common horizontal (stretchers) found in most wood type cabinets. The backward-angled face panels offer enhanced spill resistance. The typical toe recess is replaced by using backward-angled front legs and panels, effectively safe guarding one's foot against contact.
