I bought some rev a shelf pull-out shelves (which it turned out didn't fit, ugh) and they seem to be well made and would have been easy to install if only we could have installed them.
My thoughts on a drop zone are if it's deeper, more crap will land there. That might just be my house, though lol.
I'd go with easier to reach shelves vs. deeper crap zone.

Deedles! Deeper crap zone? Seriously! DH designed a whole room into this new build that he (lovingly) calls my "personal crap room". I call it my "happy room"! Lots of uninterrupted space for the clutter I love! But, the wanna-be-organized part of me doesn't want clutter/crap in my pantry. So, thanks for the red flag... :-)

Anyone else with thoughts on pull-out shelves?

There are many companies in the last few years that have started selling pull out shelves. The adjustable in width ones are made in china and from second hand knowledge I can vouch that they should have stayed in china.
Then there are the wire and plastic ones that are ok but not made for long term.
If your looking to install pull out shelves in your own cabinets I would highly recommend Slide Out Shelves LLC
They make them to fit and are simple to install plus even after paying for shipping you will save a lot of money over having a franchise or cabinet company make them for you and your getting at least equal quality.

We used Shelves That Slide (catchy name, eh?)
http://www.shelvesthatslide.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=STS&Category_Code=SS
They are made to order, made in the USA, and we are pleased with them so far.

There are also ones sold via Costco, these are custom as well.

Hope that helps!

I had not heard of them either until I started asking some cabinet makers. Seems most cabinet shops are nor set up just to justify aftermarket slide outs. So they suggested going directly to the source. I found a few such as the ones at Costco and Home Depot but they buy from someone. I was thinking either Shelves hat Slide or Slide Out Shelves LLC.
Then I saw an episode of Bathtastic on the DIY network and they used Slide Out Shelves LLC. So I thought they would use someone that was making a good product.
Bottom line is that I purchased a tester from each and decided to go with Slide Out Shelves and have no regrets.
Going with name brands doesn't always get you better quality
Just my thought, hope it helps
