SPACE STEP: A Step Up in Plywood Cabinet Organisation

How would you like an extra 20% storage space in your kitchen?

On average, approximately 19% of the kitchen space is above 1.8m in height

Organising kitchen cabinets is tricky. Items pile up, shelves get messy, and high ones are hard to reach.

The Blum SPACE STEP from Trafalgar Joinery Co. transforms the kitchen space. It saves space, keeps things neat, and allows safe access to high shelves. It's both functional and stylish—a must-try for organising your kitchen.

What is the SPACE STEP?

The SPACE STEP tucks into your cabinets. It slides out easily, giving you a strong step to reach high shelves. No stools or ladders needed.

It slides back in, revealing extra storage below. It's safe, practical, and fits perfectly with your cabinet design.

Why It’s a Game Changer

Getting to high shelves often means using wobbly stools or countertops. The SPACE STEP locks securely when stepped on, offering a stable platform. It’s perfect for anyone struggling with upper cabinets, making access safe and easy. No dusty top shelves!

Maximising Storage

Kitchens fill up fast, but the SPACE STEP helps. When you pull it out, it reveals storage for small items like tools or pantry goods.

This keeps countertops clear and boosts organisation. Perfect for storing trays and towels and keeping the kitchen neat and tidy.

The big win is access to full-height cabinets to maximise our space.

Safety Features

Wobbly stools are risky, but the SPACE STEP supports up to 150 kg, locking firmly in place. Whether grabbing a pot or a spice jar, I feel secure.

Safety makes it invaluable.

Sleek Design

Blum reviews tell the story

Mr Boring Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Incredible customer service – The Blum hinges broke on a kitchen cabinet (kids swinging on them tend to do that unfortunately). The house is 15 years old and built by someone else, so I had trouble tracking down what hinges they were and where I could get new ones. So I called the Blum office. The gent who answered the phone asked for some photos so he could identify them and my address to send out replacements. Two emails later I had parts on their way. MORE REVIEWS

I'm impressed and wish that all life's problems were this easy to fix.
