Closest to Pantry Conversion any Good Examples?

On our Bigfoot 2500, we have two cabinets that can be used for either a pantry or a closet. We currently have shelves in both for pantry space and kitchen storage. The issue we face is the cabinettes are so deep that any meaningful organization is difficult and lots of space gets wasted vertically.

I've been talking to the Mrs about adding pull out drawers that would give better access and hopefully allow for better optimization of storage. Before I start on this endevour, I was wondering if there were others who had gone down this path already that might have some pictures and advice to share.
  • Yes, slide-out helves are about the best solution. We build our own, and there are lots of different ways to do it, depending on your rig and the way it is built.
  • Thanks for the pics guys, that will get me somthing to work with.
  • I parted out lance and have hardware with double-sided baskets and slide-out track available.
    Pm me if that might work for you. Takes over a foot width.

    Thanks for the offer but I think I will be busting out the table saw for this project.
  • Remember anything with slides will need a locking stop to prevent movement when you are in motion. It can be an automatic latch or a transport pin that is removed once stationary.
  • I bought a sliding basket self unit from the container store. Fits in the wardrobe perfectly.

    I wish I could get a picture to load or I would show you how it looks.
