Rev A Shelf has a system now, I prefer the X-Series.

The Rev-A-Shelf stuff was in the house when I bought it. That said, I think I'd prefer to have wood drawers rather than wire racks, Time will tell how much the wire racks annoy me.

I think you’ll be okay with it, the wire systems work for pots and pans, for other items I prefer a shelf system.

The drawers under our gas cooktop are arranged the way @mino describes. We keep utensils such as tongs, spatulas, and ladles in the shallow top drawer. The middle, also shallow, holds our most-used skillets. The large bottom holds pots, pans, and lids. We really love the arrangement of these drawers and use them several times over the course of a day.

Our drawers are IKEA Maximera IIRC. They have undermount slides and metal sides. We’ve had them 7+ years without a single issue. By the way, our “WMF” set of pots and pans were purchased in 1997 in a village outside Stuttgart, Germany. We like them so much it has been a brake on considering an induction cooktop.

I tend to agree with you. I just have to adjust the top rack down ~2" or so.

I take it you do not cook that much complex stuff in the kitchen. A drawer behind doors cannot be practically accessed while one of your hands is occupied. Unlike simple doors (no need to open both of them) or a simple drawer could.*)

Actually my wife did specialty dessert and snack cooking (slices etc) in a restaurant our daughter owned for many years and a lot of it was done in our home kitchen.

If the pots and pans you put away are not entirely “cold” or not entirely dry from being washed, then the metal racks are superior. They allow more air circulation and the pots will dry without any damage or damage to the racks. Also, cast iron skillets are heavy enough to damage wood drawers.

Rev-A-Shelf makes both wire racks and wood drawer units. Their engineers (or experience) has driven them to make the racks in heavy gage wire + chrome plating.

Good points. Thanks!
