MAIDENHEAD · SHELVING AND STORAGE
A cabinet that opens into the room’s main route.
Storage should work when it is open, not only when photographed closed. For a Maidenhead cabinet project, show how people pass while its doors or drawers are in use.

MAIDENHEAD IN PRACTICE

A cabinet that opens into the room’s main route.
Example brief: storage cabinet assembly, with drawer opening adjustment recorded separately.
Include nearby windows, radiator access and adjacent furniture in the room view. The cabinet may fit the wall yet prevent someone reaching a window handle.
Describe the everyday routine before selecting assembly or fixed shelving as the solution.

BUILD A REALISTIC LIST
Prioritise storage cabinet assembly or drawer opening adjustment, then add optional fittings. This checklist is not a booking or quotation.
| Situation | A practical next step |
|---|---|
| Storage cabinet assembly | A cabinet’s closed outline is insufficient for judging everyday clearance. |
| Several related tasks | Request assessment where a drawer strikes adjacent furniture or blocks passage. |
| Measured wall shelving | Shelving is an alternative with its own depth, load and fixing requirements. |
| Specialist systems | Do not assume heating controls or electrical outlets will be moved for storage. |

They introduce their own depth, load and fixing requirements. Describe the contents and position before treating shelving as an automatic substitute.
