Most fitted furniture still relies heavily on shelves. They're cheaper to build, quicker to install, and they're what people expect to see inside a cupboard. But for the way most storage actually gets used, a deep drawer does the same job better in most situations. Once people live with proper drawers, they rarely want to go back to shelves.

Most people choose a colour from a small sample. A door swatch, a paint card, a section of finish held up in a showroom. It looks right in that moment, so the decision gets made. Then the furniture arrives, the units go in, and the colour looks different. Sometimes only slightly. Sometimes enough to be a genuine disappointment.

Ask anyone with a chest of drawers which one they open most. It's almost always the same answer. The top drawer, or whichever one sits at the most comfortable reach height, ends up holding everything that gets used daily. The rest hold everything else — which often means they hold things that never get touched.
