hi, kitchen shape L , size 10.5 ft * 8 ft 1. Does the counter below drawers and the top drawers need to be of same size ? 2. Does the hob size 3 ft , does the chimney size also be 3 ft or can I reduce it to 2ft? 3. I'm planning to have pull up shelf door on top of 2 ft * 2 ft with split folding there would be only one handle when you open the door the bottom door would sit on the top door. ---2ft tall unit ext-|| ---2 ft pull up ---|| 2ft chimney --|| --- 2ft pull up shelf--|| empty || window ----2ft tall unit--||---1.5 ft drawer --||------------3ft hob----------|| ---1.5ft drawer----|| --- 2 ft croner ----|| || || || || OR 4. Divide 8 ft equally among the 4 drawers , 2ft each and chimney 2 ft? thnanks in advance chand

I love dark shades but from my experience oil stains on a dark shaded cabinets in kitchen specifically are more prominent.

Isn't that too obvious ?

'Pros' are that the finish looks sleek and seamless, especially when all the shutters are finished in the same colour. The 2 main 'cons' in the case of handle-less shutters is that 1. greasy finger marks can appear on the front face over a period of time. 2. there is a high probability of the user trying to pull at a shutter on the side where the hinge is. Handles allow the user to immediately see in which direction a shutter (or a pair of shutters) will open. If there are no handles, it is hard to tell and over a period of time the hinges could come loose. This is also the reason I don't fix the handles in the middle of the width. It was very fashionable to do that at one time, but it is just plain inconvenient
