Cross posted! Great minds and all that! :rotfl:

Yes, that's them!

Might not be any good for PN, though, because it only gets me to the back of the middle shelf, and I'm 6" taller than PN.
A small, colour-coordinated (:D) stepladder might be the only thing that'll work for her.

Here's an off-the-wall combination solution. If you put the microwave on the floor that will;
a) clear some worktop space, and
b) provide something on which to stand, enabling the high wall units to be reached.

If that's not high enough, stick the breadbin on top and clear even more worktop space.
:rotfl:

:rotfl:
That would obstruct access to one of the lower level units!

Well, you'd have to move it around depending on which wall unit you want to access, so it's not much more trouble to move it if you want to access a lower unit instead

Actually, this talk of accessing things reminds me of when a one time boss went on some form of training course, one aspect about which he told me was a time and motion study.

They were given a plan of a store with all the storage locations identified as Widget A, Widget B, etc., along with a month's worth of the orders which had been fulfilled and replenishment supplies received.

The idea was to see if they could improve the layout, so they spent ages mapping out all the movements that the storekeeper would have made to assemble the orders and restock the locations, then came up with a new layout which they reckoned would speed things up.

There was just one piece of information that had not been provided, nor had they thought to ask - the scale of the supplied plan.

It turned out that this "store" was actually a small alcove so the storekeeper, far from walking multiple times across a large room, just sat in a swivel chair and could reach all the requested items without actually leaving (nor moving) the chair :rotfl:

OMG I want some of those! How much? Where from? Doubt we'll actually bother since I don't cook, but could keep some of the other stuff only rarely used in something like that.

I saw them on an episode of "Double your house for half the money" that featured someone with some kind of dwarfism condition, so I googled* pull down kitchen cabinets and various options came up. That's all I know, I'm afraid.

It's entered the vocabulary now, like Hoover, which is even spelled with a small h these days.

I love the pull-down cabinet and would never have thought such a thing existed!

Pyxis Are you ok? I don't like to think of you being bemused and perturbed Well, come to that, I don't like to think of any NP being bemused and perturbed!

I don't know.....I feel like I'm on the outside looking in at the best of times, but at the moment I think I might be on a different planet from everyone else!

(In RL I mean, not on here!)

I just seem to be on a different wavelength from so many people.

Oh well. Nothing new there, I suppose!

So if you see someone bumbling along looking puzzled and perturbed, and a touch perplexed, it'll probably be Pyxis the Peculiar! :rotfl:

You want to talk? What sort of wavelength do you feel like you are on?

If it would help to say why you feel like that, the NP are here for you - on the thread, or by PM (or at least I am, anyway). Or if you'd rather not, we can just accept you the way you are and carry on talking about kitchen cabinets (and mushrooms).

And I even coined it into Italian, much to the amusement of an Italian that I said it to! :rotfl:

Ooh crumbs, Lydia! It would take a lifetime to explain!

I just seem to have a different level of expectations of what's right and what's wrong, different from a lot of other people's, and it can make me a bit miserable at times.

No worries. I've bumbled along this long, so I'll bumble along a bit more! :rotfl:

One possibility is something like this:

But I expect PN would say it was too expensive.

Ooh, I like the look of that, would certainly come in handy here!

That's odd Pyxis, hope you 'feel better' soon. I quite often feel somehow 'disconnected' too.
