This is Blum's Merivobox Space Tower larder unit in Orion grey matt with smoked glass fronts. It's a tall pull-out storage system that transforms a standard tall cabinet into a highly organised pantry space with five shelves that glide out smoothly on heavy-duty runners.

Where It Fits

The Space Tower works in any tall cabinet with a minimum internal depth of 453mm and height of 1200mm. You'll typically see this in larder units, tall end cabinets, or dedicated pantry spaces. The Orion grey finish and smoked glass give it a sophisticated, contemporary look that works particularly well in modern kitchens where you want storage to feel considered rather than purely functional.

How It Works

All five shelves pull out together as one unit when you open the cabinet door. The soft-close mechanism means the entire system glides back smoothly and quietly. Each shelf is accessible from three sides once extended, so you can see and reach everything stored on it without having to move items around.

Why It Matters

Deep pantry cabinets often become black holes where items get lost at the back. This system brings everything forward to you. The glass fronts on each shelf let you see what's stored without pulling the unit out, while still keeping contents contained and organised. With a 200kg total weight capacity, it handles serious food storage from tins and jars to small appliances.

Design Consideration

The smoked glass gives this a more refined appearance than wire alternatives, but you'll need good lighting inside the cabinet to make the most of the visibility benefit. The grey finish coordinates well with contemporary handle-less kitchens but might feel too industrial if your kitchen leans traditional. Consider that the full extension means you need clear floor space in front of the cabinet when the unit is pulled out.

Build Quality

Blum's engineering shows in the smooth operation and robust construction. The runners are designed for the demanding cycle of daily kitchen use, and the soft-close mechanism is integrated rather than added on. The lifetime guarantee reflects the quality of the mechanism, though this covers the runners and soft-close system rather than the shelving components themselves.

Options

This particular version comes with five shelves and smoked glass fronts in the 450mm depth. The unit adapts to different cabinet widths, though you'll need to specify your exact cabinet dimensions. The system comes as components for assembly rather than pre-built.

Closing Guidance

If you have a tall cabinet that's currently difficult to use effectively, and you value being able to see and access your pantry items easily, this system makes practical sense. The investment is significant, but it's the kind of storage solution that changes how you use your kitchen daily rather than just looking impressive.
