You could probably do what you say..we've got wickes units and they are pretty solidly built - i doubt it would weaken the unit much. If i were you i'd be trying to find room in the base units even if it means underneath the sink. 30cm diameter plates accidentally dropped from wall unit will make quite a mess!
Even if it means putting your plates under the kitchen sink i'd do it. If there's not enough space in the base units consider fitting extra shelfs. I've fitted an extra shelf to all my wall units. If you ditched some end-panels for decorative one's on the wall unit the ditched one's make good shelves for the wall units when cut to fit (upside down so can't see the screwholes!)

The kitchen is really really small. we have slimline dishwasher, base unit, then round the corner, washing machine, oven and one drawer unit that houses the pots and pans :rotfl:

Thanks to everyone else, we saw some display plate racks things that bhs/wilkinsons use for their shelves and want to try to look for those.

I did ask Santa for a new dinner service but we just bought these lovely porcelain ones last year!

You need a vertical stacking rack that allows you to put the plates in at a slight angle, this will over come the extra 1cm required.

Any linkies to pics/suppliers? We love this the most

B&Q cooke and lewis wall units give about 310mm actuall storage space behind the door

You have the perfect storage units in your kitchen already. Use the DISHWASHER
Why not? Everytime you clean your dirty plates you keep or clean ones dust and bateria free too
