Layout Summary:
Tall cab — Top (700mm): Separate flip-up compartment on each side (seasonal storage / top display)
Tall cab — Bottom (2000mm): Both sides: 4 adj. shelves → 5 openings at 400mm each. Solid = hidden storage, Glass = display (NBA figures, photos, decor)
Base drawers (under tall): 2 × 450mm W × 400mm H × 400mm D
Console drawers: 4 × 650mm W × 400mm H × 400mm D
TV: Wall-mounted above the console section (2600mm available width)

⚠ Contractor Notes:
Wall anchor (critical): Tall cabinet is 2700mm high but only 400mm deep — serious tipping risk. Secure to wall with heavy-duty L-brackets at top and middle. Non-negotiable.
Glass door: Use tempered/safety glass (min 5mm thick). Standard glass shatters into dangerous shards. Tempered glass is mandatory for a living room.
Base cabinet level: The base must be perfectly level — the tall cabinet sits on top. Any tilt at the base amplifies at 3100mm height. Use shims if floor is uneven.
Shelf pins: Use metal shelf pins (not plastic) for the adjustable shelves. Display items like NBA figures can be heavy — plastic pins can snap.
Push-open mechanism (entire cabinet): Flip-up doors, solid door, glass door, AND all 6 drawers are completely handle-less (全无把手). Use quality push-to-open latches (e.g. Blum Tip-On) for doors and Tip-On Blumotion for drawers. Test the release force — too stiff and it's frustrating, too light and drawers/doors pop open on their own. Budget extra 15–20% for drawer Tip-On hardware vs standard slides.
Rounded edges: Apply rounded edges on all exposed carcass corners. Note: TV console (living room), dining room cabinet, and entryway base cabinet all use rounded edges — maintain consistency across these three pieces.
✅ Owner Tips:
Fully handle-less look: With no knobs or pulls anywhere, the entire cabinet reads as one clean, uninterrupted surface — the most minimalist option of all four pieces. Great choice for a living room where the TV is the visual focus.
Drawer slides: Request soft-close, full-extension slides with Tip-On push-to-open for all 6 drawers. The TV console drawers will be opened daily for remotes and devices — make sure the push action is comfortable and responsive.
Cable management: Ask for a 50mm hole at the back of the console drawers for power cables, HDMI, and set-top box wiring. Keeps the console top clean.
Glass door hinges: Use soft-close hinges rated for glass doors. The glass door is heavier than solid — standard hinges will slam shut.
Display lighting: Consider LED strip inside the glass side for display lighting. Warm white (3000K) works best for NBA figures and photos. Can be wired through the base cabinet.
Flip-up gas struts: The top compartments need gas struts (60–80N) to hold doors open. Without struts, you'll need one hand to hold the door while reaching in.
