Why this stainless steel cupboards with upstand earns its place
When your prep station is a wet zone—chopping vegetables, rinsing ingredients, bleeding down poultry—the upstand makes the difference. That 150–200 mm back lip catches splashes that would otherwise run down the unit's rear and onto the floor or wall. It keeps the wall clean and prevents water collecting behind the unit during service.
Left-positioned drawers suit kitchens where traffic flows from that side, or where the unit sits between two prep benches and you need to favour one approach. Sliding doors mean no swing conflict—essential in tight layouts where space is already allocated to cutting boards and prep bowls on the adjacent surface. The full 2000 mm width and 700 mm depth give you proper storage volume without eating floor space.
Stainless steel 430 is commercial-grade throughout: the upstand is integrated into the same build, so there's no join where grime collects. The whole unit stays hygienic through daily sanitizing spray-downs. At 850 mm height, it aligns with standard bench height, making the transition smooth when you're moving prepped items between stations.
