Not that they look bad--but if anything, they're more visible than the hinges on Gertie's pantry, of which only the three hinge barrels are visible along one edge of the door. "[Unlike Gertie's pantry,] the shelves are mounted on brackets inside the pantry, which makes them more adjustable" Actually, both Gertie's and Skylark's pantries have adjustable shelves. Rather than using strip-type brackets that would reduce the interior space unless they were placed in routed channels, I drilled rows of 1/4" holes and used peg-type brackets that plug into those. More work, of course... but I didn't have a router, and this could be done with only a cordless drill and some patience. :-) Tim's design does have advantages over mine, though. First, he matched the rig's interior cabinetry perfectly, which I wasn't able to do. But more important, by mounting the shelves to the interior of the cupboard door, he made them face the kitchen--a nice touch that makes things easier for the cook.Andy Baird http://www.andybaird.com/travels/
