If you’re short on space in your kitchen and can’t open your cabinet doors without them banging into things or cutting off your path to the sink or cooker, it could be time to consider a top box unit.

With a lift-up hinge, rather than the traditional out-swinging door, a top box unit helps you retain all the storage space you need without causing a hazard.

Why choose top box units for your kitchen?

Lift-up cabinet doors provide a new and improved way of reaching all the essential items you need in the kitchen.

More practical than a standard out-swinging cabinet door, a top box unit is becoming one of the more popular additions to our kitchen cabinet collection.

Instead of pulling the door out to the side, this mechanism allows you to open the door by pulling it up towards you. It’s ideal for tight areas and prevents doors from clashing or cutting off space.

What are the benefits of top box units?

Top box kitchen units can make the most of overhead space in previously empty areas. This could include areas over the sink, worksurfaces, and even above kitchen islands.

Top box units feature lift-up hinges, an effective way to create a convenient and accessible kitchen that feels perfect for you. They can help you to negotiate the logistical challenges that the room presents, giving you a storage area that is easy to reach at all times.

Optimise your kitchen layout with lift-up top box units

Lift-up cabinet units provide all the clever storage you need without the problem of overlapping doors, which can be an issue in even the largest of kitchen spaces.

By changing the direction of the opening, storage in narrower kitchens is maximised, with the chance to tuck clutter away, generating the illusion of a much larger space.

Lift-up box units can position extra cupboard space above existing cabinets and fill in gaps left above wall units, providing more space, removing items from work surfaces, and creating a luxurious aesthetic for your kitchen.

Larger kitchens can also take advantage of more storage options further up the wall, leaving a space feeling minimal yet stylish.

Choose from our range of soft-close hinges and door handles to create the kitchen of your dreams.

Why order top box units from Kitchen Warehouse?

At Kitchen Warehouse, our top box units provide a versatile solution for soft-close upper cabinets.

Each unit has a lifting mechanism that allows the top box door to open upwards.

As with all our kitchen cabinets, our top box unit carcasses are constructed using highly durable MFC (melamine-faced chipboard). The strong hinges, solid backs and smooth edges make our top box units sturdy enough to last for many years. They’re easy and safe to operate, and the robust hinges can easily withstand all the daily wear and tear that modern living throws.

Not only does Kitchen Warehouse supply these top box units in several widths, but we also have a variety of colours and finishes available for you to choose from. Whichever style you’ve selected for your kitchen décor, you will find matching top box units from one of our beautiful kitchen collections.

Choose a style and colour to fit any kitchen

With 11 colours to choose from, we guarantee you’ll find the shade for you.

A recent popular design includes the combination of neutral white kitchens and a section of coloured units, or even a darker bank of floor units and contrastingly light wall units. This builds a stylish and modern kitchen worthy of envy.

See What Our Customers Say

After a recent house move we were looking for some new kitchen units, and came across Kitchen Warehouse's website. What I initially liked about them was that you could order a sample door for about £20, which would then be discounted if you went on to place an order over a certain value. This seemed a reasonable outlay to check the look what what we wanted, so we went ahead with this option. From the start, the correspondence was excellent, with their reps answering all my questions quickly and very helpfully, so I felt confident in placing the order. The timescales given were accurate and emails advising delivery dates came through at regular intervals in the run up.

On the day we were expecting our delivery, nothing arrived! However, a quick call to them to check and they were very apologetic saying that the order had been mistakenly put down for the following day, and was it ok to deliver then. We were around in the morning but had a funeral to go to in the early afternoon, and the logistics guy rearranged the delivery schedule to make sure it arrived while we were at home. When the delivery arrived at about 7.30am, he told us that he'd been told to make sure he was on time as they knew we had to leave promptly for the funeral. The customer care from this was excellent and we really appreciated the consideration from the team.

Some time after our initial order, we decided to fit an extra unit and a section of worktop to the kitchen, and the service was equally faultless, with advice on the best option for a small piece of worktop, as well as on matching the paint colour to an existing unit.

I would not hesitate to recommend Kitchen Warehouse to anyone, their service was impeccable, the kitchen units are excellent quality and the price doesn't break the bank. An all-round excellent experience.

Used Kitchen Warehouse to match a solid wood kitchen already installed. Needed a number of replacement items including solid oak curved plinths which are practically impossible to source anywhere else.
Also needed a bespoke size larder unit which they were more than happy to make and supply.
Communication was excellent over the phone and via email. They managed to get the items out within 2 weeks and even though there was a slight hiccup with the delivery of the curved plinths, they resolved it quickly and kept me informed.
Excellent products and quick efficient and professional service.

One of the best companies I’ve ever used, from start to finish, absolutely superb.
Price - better than every other quote we received.
Showroom - small from the outside, but incredibly stocked.
Customer service - unbeatable. Showroom full of knowledgeable friendly staff, who genuinely wanted to help us build what we wanted rather than make as much money as possible.
Product - stunning.

We opted for a green shaker door and all the accessories as I am capable of fitting it myself.
James helped us get what we wanted. Constantly kept me updated. Popped out to measure up our house for no extra cost. Pre drilled the hinges and even instructed me on the easiest way to fit (extremely helpful).

Honestly nothing was too much for any of the team. Seriously fantastic company and finished product looks like a 10 grand kitchen at a fraction of the price.

Thanks to the whole KW team but particularly Dan, Darcie and Jonathan. Made to feel so welcome from our first visit to the showroom, guided to the best products to suit our kitchen layout. Lots of choice and excellent quality cabinets and appliances. The installation team were polite, efficient and went above and beyond to get the job done. Customer service second to none throughout. Thanks again - would certainly recommend. We love our new kitchen.

Outstanding Quality, Service, and Value

Kitchen Warehouse UK delivered an excellent experience from start to finish. The level of customer service was exceptional throughout the entire process. James provided expert design guidance, taking the time to understand our needs and helping us achieve a layout that works perfectly for our family.

The quality of the products is excellent, clearly surpassing typical high street offerings while remaining very competitively priced. What stood out most, however, was the team’s responsiveness and professionalism during installation. As with any project, minor issues can arise, but they were handled promptly and efficiently, which gave us great confidence and peace of mind.

Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and the commitment to customer satisfaction was evident at every stage.

We are extremely happy with the end result and would highly recommend Kitchen Warehouse UK to anyone looking for a high-quality kitchen and a truly customer-focused service.

I had to design and order the kitchen for a flat refurbishment without the help of the builder. I was lucky to get well informed customer service reps on the phone who explained the difference between ordering the cabinets flat packed or already put together. They were clear about cost and timings, extremely helpful without pushing me to spend more money. The kitchen arrived on time but I still needed a bespoke sized door once the kitchen was fitted. The one door arrived very fast and thus I was able to get the kitchen fitter to do the job instead of me having to do it at a later date.
The kitchen looks much better and the cabinets are far sturdier than expected or promised. If you know what you want, don’t hesitate to use this service. The samples are very helpful and a bespoke size is not hugely different in price from the regular sizes. What a relief. All for under £1,000. Beware of your kitchen fitter however. You might end up spending what you have saved. The best decision that I made in the refurbishment project.

James had some ideas for our new kitchen that were better than previous designs from another major supplier. James was just more interested and engaged than the supplier we’d been working with. There was flexibility in amending the specification before the final order. The order was delivered on the date agreed and there was plenty of help in moving the boxes into the house. Jonathan fitted the kitchen, Glenn the electrics and Joe the plumbing, all were professional, friendly and tidy. I had thought about fitting the kitchen with a mate but glad I didn’t, it was absolutely worth it, leaving it to the experts. KW contract a 3rd party to fit the worktops and the fitter was meticulous. Darcie at KW had oversight of the plan and kept in touch throughout the fitting and visited to sign off. I later flagged a finish issue on some of the doors/drawers fitted which Darcie was very helpful in resolving. Highly recommend Kitchen Warehouse at Ripon. Quality products, design, oversight and fitting.

Everything is extremely well organised, we chose fitting and were provided with a full schedule of works, everyone arrived when scheduled and completed the works to a high standard. Nothing was too much trouble and any issues were addressed and put right immediately, the whole process was very stress free and we have a lovely kitchen to enjoy now. Very happy and have already recommended to friends.

We are so pleased with our new utility thanks to Kitchen Warehouse. Liam was really helpful when we visited the showroom, Darcie was lovely and kept us well informed and Rob finished the project so quickly! The only daunting part of the process was taking on the design role ourselves but this helped to keep costs down and we are thrilled with the finish. Will definitely use KW again if we ever refit our kitchen.

Although disappointing, these things happen and safe to say if there is an issue, this is the type of business and team you want to deal with. We now have the kitchen we had hoped for and pleased we met them. Special thanks to Daniel V and his team for proving comfort and guidance along the way. And James, brilliant thank you!

My son/girlfriend were interested in a kitchen style they had viewed online, so before placing an order we all made the long journey to the showroom. Great help from Daniel, who answered all our questions, advised us of different options and styles all without any pushy sales. We opted for rigid units and whilst delivery was a bit pricey it reflects the distance. The quality was good, the service was excellent and i would definately use again. Only given 4 stars as we havent received and installed the units yet.

Finally got round to send a few photos and write a review,our kitchen fitter who's been in the business for over 20 years said it was the best quality kitchen he has ever fitted its a old house 300 years approximately so not straight forward!! But did a great job mostly due to the standard of the doors and units supplied. I would highly recommend this company their customer service is second to none any queries are dealt with by professionals who know what they are talking about. I had a long chat a couple of weeks ago to a chap who might have been the owner! sorry not sure if it was but had time to listen to me about what I'd done, couldn't see wren or howdens doing that ??
Many thanks guys Steve and Catherine Geddes

If you have any doubt about the quality of these units look at my kitchen! I have granite work tops over three meters long and a Fireclay sink that weighs the same as a small child!
The kitchen Warehouse units are the tiniest bit deeper than some other online competitors. This is an advantage because by using shallow AEG integrated appliances there was no need to dig out the walls for the pipe work. I have a perfectly flat cupboard run.
I didn’t pay the ten per cent extra to have the units assembled, but the fitter found them very easy.
Tips
The plinths have the same lovely wood grain effect as the units. Buy extra to use to box in pipes elsewhere in the kitchen, or use as packing.

If you are considering buying a 1000cm base unit, then seriously consider paying the extra for the drawer unit instead. So much more storage and they look wonderful.

Left over Amtico flooring planks, I store under the kitchen units, then conceal it with the plinths.
This way when disaster hits the floor in five years time you can always find exact match flooring.

Think very carefully about the size of the wall units! Very easy to order the standard 700 ones without thinking too much. But the 900’s are an investment not an expenditure!
The customer service is outstanding.
At the time of writing if you order a sample door there is a very handy discount code printed on the back of iit! ( don’t shoot me if that has changed by the time you order! And good luck with your project).

We recently completed our kitchen project with Kitchen Warehouse UK Ltd, and we couldn’t be happier! We handled all the work ourselves except for plastering and electrical, despite having no prior experience in fitting a kitchen. Dan at KW was absolutely fantastic throughout the process—his planning, design, and guidance on installation were invaluable.

The quality of the KW kitchen is exceptional. The prebuilt cabinets came with all internal mechanisms installed, and we were especially impressed with the full solid tops on the cabinets—no stretchers! The soft-close hinges are top-notch, and everything arrived well-packaged with protective materials. We only encountered one chipped door and one warped door, but KW quickly sent replacements, which arrived in just two days.

Communication with KW was outstanding. Whether by phone or email, their team was responsive and helpful, even on Saturdays.

A huge thank you to Dan for his patience, expert advice, and for helping us bring our dream kitchen to life. Visiting the showroom and meeting you was well worth it. We absolutely love our new kitchen and highly recommend Kitchen Warehouse UK Ltd!

Couldn’t recommend Kitchen Warehouse any higher. I’m a builder and have worked with several well known and smaller companies but chose Kitchen Warehouse for my own home kitchen. So glad I did, the customer service from working on the design to after care has been outstanding and the product is unbelievable quality. By far the best company and will be recommending to my customers going forward.

We are delighted with our new kitchen from Kitchen Warehouse UK. It is excellent quality whilst still being great value for money. The cabinets came fully assembled and with colour matched interiors.
We chose to have the full fitting service and everything ran smoothly, with a clear schedule of who to expect and when. The whole team offered a friendly, professional service.
Special thanks to Simon for his patience with all our queries and to Rob for his skill and attention to detail whilst fitting it.
I'd definitely recommend them to others, in fact I already have.

Superb company to deal with, nothing was too much trouble and a real pleasure to work with Kenny, Dan and the team through the design to come up with ideas and honest advice to end up with such a great result. Although we were just outside the installation area, Liam and Paul came over for a week and it was such a privilege to have such professional and nice guys on site. There were a few issues with the worktop installation but they were sorted and we are delighted with the end result.
The units are substantial and well made with attention to detail both inside and finished well outside for a real quality appearance.
The whole process has been a pleasure and we would highly recommend Kitchen Warehouse and thank you to all the team.
