My wife Donna is 5 foot 2 and finds the galley cabinets very useless to her. I have been trying to come up with a solution that would work for her. She and I also like sleek clean lines and find the handles and doors can make it look cluttered.

This morning I came up with a brainstorm and I'm hoping it isn't a monsoon. One workable solution is to have the cabinet sections lower down when pressed up to release. Think of the drawers moving vertically instead of horizontally.

First has anyone thought of this and done it in their coach?

If not I'll have to work through a new set of problems. I don't want them to drop to quickly, so something to slow the descent. I also don't want them to disengage as we go over bumps in the road. I don't want her to have to lift heavy drawers back into place with just her own strength.

I'm also trying not to make it too complex. It may too complex no matter what I try. Donna loves to cook and I want to try and make it as easy for her as I can.

Any thoughts? Crazy idea? Other suggestions?

Thanks.
