Although I admire Krenov-style cabinets, I have long held the view that 
they are "useless" for me. Thomas' explanation was so hilarious that I 
laughed all the way through it and then laughed again the second time I 
read it.

However, I can present the other side as well. To me, Krenov-style wall 
cabinets share their general form and size with the classic Shaker wall 
cabinet. The Shakers were known above all for their simplicity and 
practicality, so I'm quite sure that they found these cabinets very 
useful in their homes. I think perhaps the main explanation for this 
would be that they had far fewer possessions than most of us do today.� 
They would not dedicate a cabinet to storing a single fiddle (as they 
would have probably called it), nor would they have a collection of 
Oriental porcelain bowls. A small cabinet could probably work well to 
hold many of the essentials of everyday life, the ones they wanted to 
have close at hand rather than stored in low chests, trunks or large 
drawers.
