Why this stainless steel cupboards with upstand earns its place
Built in 430 stainless steel, this table is a workhorse for kitchens where counter space is tight. The 1000 mm width fits snugly into narrow corridors and alcoves without sacrificing storage underneath — sliding doors mean you can load and unload even when there's limited room to swing cupboard doors open. The upstand (that 100 mm lip along the back) keeps spills and food debris from migrating past the work surface and down the wall, which matters in any space where hygiene is non-negotiable.
At 600 mm deep, it's a sensible depth for single-handed work. You're not stretching too far to reach the back; stock stays visible and accessible. The sliding door mechanism moves smoothly and doesn't take up floor space when open, which is why prep rooms and butcher shops favour them over swing doors. Thirty-five kilograms lighter than wider models, it's still substantial enough to anchor a line of prep work without wobbling.
This is the unit to choose when you need proper food-prep storage but your space is lean — a galley kitchen in a café, a corner prep station in a catering unit, a front-of-house pastry station where every centimetre counts.
