Thank you, Larry! 🙂

I would have to state whether or not new style cabinets are your thing, there are some great takeaways in this short video. The combination of hardware that you mentioned is a brilliant idea to use and not to forget the tension cassettes. Moreover, there is the classic finger joints that they employ along side a standard practice. I will have to see if any of this is available in the UK as a kitchen rebuild is approaching…. Thank you for sharing this content.

Tons of great design ideas in this video! More, more, more, please!!!

I love these designs. I can seriously seeing using them in my next home. Please do more videos on this series.

These 'smooth operators' are a mother's dream. Imagine your fingers all covered in dough and you need a utensil in a drawer. My elbow or knee could take over and keep the drawer clean and sanitary. Thanks Nathan, you provide such interesting Vlogs. PS: I still use my old pantyhose on my vacuum filters. You have the system I can only dream of.

Love to know more of how to set this up. Really like the clean look and feel of no visible hardware

Love the functionally. These are becoming the future of cabinetry. If I was to buy a more expensive home I would definitely consider installing this kind of cabinet. Ease of use & higher resale value.

The modern design is not my style, but I am impressed with their craftsmanship and quality. Thanks for showing us.

Extremely impressive. The grain matching is 2nd to none.

I commissioned a local carpenter to create a fairly traditional bespoke pine sideboard. Since there were 5 cupboard doors (a double and 2 singles) I didn't fancy looking at asymmetry, so went to a kitchen joinery store and sourced some magnetic hinges similar to those featured in vid.

Hello to Yorkshire, drum! Thanks for watching 😄

I'm not sure I like the sleek look. But I am totally 👍👍 10/10 about the engineering, mechanical parts. Thanks again Ethan.

Wow, I'm impressed by that blue push to open and soft close! I'd like to see a follow up video with the specifics of their install. I saw the Blume website videos that show somewhat of what is involved, but I'd like to see how that plays out when installing throughout the whole kitchen - it could be a whole lot of plug ins for all the devices unless they have a way to streamline the power part.

Those are very interesting and look really nice and clean. Is the soft close necessary? I have push-to-open drawers in my entertainment center, and they are also push-to-close using a similar magnet system. The soft close does make things more intuitive, but it can be done without it.

Love the look/style of this type of cabinet. Are there safety mechanisms for when the young grandchildren come over?

The construction and look is beautiful

Thanks for all this tips ❤

Beautiful. I especially like the concrete sink.

That’s great hardware and I’m not surprised by Blum coming up with it . They are they the company in forefront when it come so the cabinet hardware

They make some impressive cabinets!

Great explanation

My first thought was that the home owner needs spares of the hardware to ensure longevity of the design. We all know that stuff fails over time (entropy) but having a unique design means 'hard to get' in the future. Otherwise, looks pretty cool and I could see how some high end clients would love this.

Great upload. Really unique hardware.

I have handleless cabinets and drawers in my kitchen. I don’t know why anybody would really want them. The doors provide no clue which side the hinge is on, so until you learn each door, you don’t know which way it will open. For the drawers you’re trying to grab the edge to get the drawer open, which dirties the area around it. For flushones, will guests be able to intuitively operate them? Maybe.

Awesome stuff!

Oh my I can't wait for the drawer slide episode because you are right - cabinet slides are tricky to get right and I've never found a jig I've really liked to line up the slides for cabinets. They - work but nothing to make the job brainless.

This design/style is tight!!! Real easy on the eyes.

Great video. I’ve got old cabinets with magnets and some are past fine tuning any more so I’ll be looking for those.

Thanks for the coverage of "new" technology! Another great video. I absolutely hate those sinks, but I use mine to do more than trickle water on the tips of my fingers. Lol The push to open combined with soft close in pretty cool indeed. But what I find most impressive are the window shades. I saw those a while back in an office building I was helping finish. To be "clean," I'll just say, "They are the bee's knees!" Beautiful cabinetry work also!

I'm sorry if I came across crass, because that wasn't my intention. I myself see some immaculate residential homes. My mother is a real estate broker and certified appraiser. I live in Eastern Kentucky and it's just one way or the other. And what I mean by that is in one way you'll have just a nice functional house with regular cabinets that have handles on them and not that the house isn't in good shape it's just what in the appraisal business considered dated. And then you walk into these homes that are unexplainable. I've helped my mother a lot with appraisals because it's so much faster to do your measurements on the outside of the home with two people when you're working with 100 ft tape measure. But, the final thought I have in my head is my weakness and compassion for the homeless. It hurts to see people in need of a hot meal and a place to clean up and sleep safely for the night. And all the while you got small components on the inside of a residential home that cost $1,000. So that's really the skinny of what I was getting at maybe I should have explained it better but I think I have now.

Very good and fine

This is exactly what I'm looking for, for a client thanks for sharing. Any idea of the model or particular name of the hardware for this on blums site?

Blum is not the only company making push to open and soft close runners. King Slide was actually the first company to invent this more than 10 years ago! They have since launched a much-improved version with a light push open force and the drawer opens more than just 5 inches.

Interesting whenever I build cabinets I use these magnetic door hinges they sell at Walmart for whenever my clients ask for no handles on the cabinets.👷🏿‍♂️

Love it.

Another fancy gizmo that goes belly-up at the most awkward time. Looks good though that is until someone with greasy hands opens/closes the drawers. Nothing beats simple, solid brass handles.

Really great concept, thanks! Question: how does one deal with fingerprints on the face of the cabinets rather than on handles which don't show fingerprints?

Holy Crap!?!/!1 Who Knew?!?! Thank You! Great job-Cheers

I would worry that Kneehugger, Fluff and maybe Spot could lean to open those. Some of our cats could open wooden screen doors from outside.

I'm curious how these are for ADA compliance? Any ideas? I would love them in my own place, but just curious about general case

The green pattern should run the same direction in all the cabinet drawer faces. A little bit more challenging but well worth the look

Do you know if they used an MDF or Plywood core for the cabinets, or did they use solid wood?

So as DIYers we can buy that hardware and install on our cabinets and drawers?

any details on the Glass Opacity vendor, slab ram sink ?

I think all major companies have developed the push to open slide system which is hettich, blum, grass and salice

Too cool

Great info, as usual! Perhaps it's just me, but I hear reverberation in this one. I don't usually hear audio issues others claim to notice. I'm not an audiophile, but I did spend several years in a church sound booth, a few years back. Sounds like the microphone gain is possibly a bit too high.

I prefer handles and knobs. Overall I like an older aesthetic or at least something handmade with manual tools. So a hammered bronze, wrought iron or carved wooden hardware set will always be my 1st choice

"Push to open" is a very attractive idea at first since it lets you not only remove external hardware but moreover increase the drawer front dimensions, but in practice, it kind of sucks because you can easily open drawers and cabinets accidentally just by leaning against them or hitting them while using your bathroom or kitchen; and, they have the disadvantage that, unlike with a handle or other opening mechanism, where you contact the device in one spot and open it completely without a second motion, "push-to-open" requires first contacting on the front face to initiate the opening, and then following up by pulling the drawer the rest of the way out. I still prefer smooth rolling drawers that open from the side or roll out quickly with a small button.

I have been researching this lately to incorporate into a project but I would like for the push-to-open to slide out more than 3-5 inches, without some crazy expensive rail set. Anyone have any input?

Now there's a class act................................thanks.

I'm not sure how long that company has been making those slides, but I have those exact slides on my kid's furniture I bought them at ikea A few years back and has been using them on things I Built-in my garage. I believe they are an option with the BESTA line of products

The Blum Tandem slides plus the push to open mechanism, called Tip-On, will run about $115 per set. Movento a little more. You can get same functionality from Salice Futura for about $40 per set and the mechanism is built in, not an add-on. But it's also the difference between German and Italian engineering. You can feel the difference in the hardware just holding it and how the locking clip feels when activated.

Great ideas Ethan. I am newer DIYer and I wished I had known about this hardware before I started to rebuild the cabinets in our 100 year old home. I added the under drawer soft close, but needed drawer pulls. The drawers would have looked much better with the Push-to-Open and soft close combined. Thank you for the information.

It's really a beautiful look and I love the attention to detail, but these would require more cleaning. You'd put your grimy hands on it once to push open, then twice to open completely. It's aesthetics over form and function. I would probably go for the aesthetics in this case.

A new office building at work has these in the kitchen areas. Our ones open fairly wide with the nudge of a knee or hip. Very convenient.

No handle cabinetry is like no handle cutlery. Can you still use it? Yes. Does it make it significantly less functional and annoying to use? Yes.

Things that look good but are more complex and are functionally worse. Great for the gram, wouldn't want it on my home or business for hardly anything. A handle is explicit for the user, a cabinet with so many doors opening in different directions where you have to push in the right spot while not being obvious is an annoying UX. Can work great in some circumstances, but it is tricky, either some visual elements that guide you or consistent opening spots. Also, that led without a diffuser underneath the bed :S. I know how I sound, don't take it harsh, I just wanted to share some criticism to balance. I actually appreciated the technical solutions, but I would suggest looking in the directions I shared, like putting your grandma on that bathroom and seeing if she figures out first time or if she get's a bit frustrated when there's tons of cabinets in different directions, maybe some metal inlay on the wood can suggest where to push, just as an example.

I want those in my kitchen where do I go!?

Dry nice

Blum is not the only company making these. Look into Hettich Actro 5D

All I can think of is more parts to break but the hardware does look high quality so maybe not. Also I just move too fast I need to be able to yank drawers open snatch something and slam it shut 😂 this type of stuff to me is for the cute, calm kitchen in a magazine. Every other drawer and door in life works the usual way I'm just going to get thrown off with some Different ones in my kitchen or bathroom.

I see these are very nice, high end furniture but are you saying that push to open is a brand new concept or both features on the same furniture?
