Workbench with Drawers and Shelf

A workbench with drawers and shelf is one of the most frequently chosen stainless steel work table options in professional kitchens, as it combines two storage types in one compact piece of furniture. The lower shelf provides space for pots, pans, GN trays and other items that cannot be placed in a drawer, while the drawers offer organised storage for small kitchen tools with quick access during work.

Advantages of the drawer and shelf combination

The combined model offers a wider functional range than uniform options. Drawers — knives, spatulas, whisks, brushes, measuring cups; small tools right at the work surface. Shelf — pots, GN trays, choppers, mixers and other smaller equipment accessories; large item size is not a limitation. Optimal use of space — the entire area under the workbench is fully utilised; no empty underside as in the model without a shelf. Two-level accessibility — drawers above at shelf level for tools; shelf below for storage. Also see the table without shelf.

Technical parameters

The parameters of a workbench with drawers and shelf are available in various sizes. Work surface width — 400–1600 mm; depends on kitchen layout and needs. Height — standard 850 mm; adjustable legs ±20–30 mm. Depth — 600 or 700 mm standard depth; greater depth = greater shelf and work surface capacity. Shelf height — standard 300–400 mm from the floor; suitable for storing pots and bowls. Drawer parameters — 1–3 drawers with stainless steel frames; locking mechanism with stop. AISI 304 steel — surface, drawers and shelf; hygienic and corrosion-resistant. Also see the table with 2 shelves.

Shelf quantity options

Work tables with drawers and shelf are available in various shelf quantity configurations. One shelf — the most common option; under-space for one open shelf. Two shelves — greater storage capacity; can also be used as an additional work shelf for smaller items. Adjustable shelf — some models with adjustable shelf height; adaptable to different-sized items. Enclosed shelf with doors — option with shelf protection using a single door or sliding doors; better hygiene; suitable for public areas. Also see the table with three drawers and shelf.

Assembly in kitchen section

Workbenches with drawers and shelf are often assembled in a unified kitchen section. Unified work surface — several tables placed in a row; uniform work surface height and depth. Wall fixation — tables attached to the wall or another table; stable, immovable surface. Interchangeable tables — detachable configuration; rearrangement if necessary. Hygienic connection — tables tightly attached; nothing falls between tables; hygienic cleaning. BHS advises on kitchen section planning and table assembly.
