Hi, love your videos! Those cupboards under the kid's day bed should open down and use a magnet to hold them in the closed position (like an oven door). It'll be easier for the kids to see what they are putting in and out of their cupboard. Good luck!!

[susanamberg]

I have my trash can hanging on my door, looks like you have room to do that too. We use command hooks the one with the wire, cut two holes into the back of the trash can in the back and hang it on the door. There's bit of fiddling to get it in the right place, mostly to close the door, but if you put it to the hinge side not centered it'll work. Mine is only a 4 gallon one, we just empty it more often.

I don’t know if others have made this suggestion, but on you flip the doors under the beds so the hinges are on the bottom you don’t need struts or brackets to hold them up. Then the kids can see everything without bend under to see their stuff in that area. Add a magnet or hook to the top to hold the door closed. Love your channel!

[amyblevins]

Suggestion. Instead of having the cabinet hinge on the top I would put the hinge on the bottom. Then the kids would open the cabinet from the top down. You could then install some type of closure for the cabinet to close at the top.

[mstberry]

I’d prefer holding it up if the bracket only opens half way. You have to put your face on the floor to see anything. I agree with opening them down.

[jimmyrosen]

They are called cabinet door telescopic struts. I used to work in a hardware store.

[FollowingtheYellowBrickRoad]

A piano hinge on those thin doors would probably help to keep it from bending and cracking

[raysunbe]

Thanks for sharing your DIY adventures with us. Sometimes it takes some trial and error to figure out the best solution. 😊 You could glue and screw a couple of wood strips horizontally to help strengthen the doors without adding much weight, and might reduce future warping.

If the cabinet door holder does not work out, the struts could be relocated to a different position which would definitely work. It’s about geometry.. the top anchor(on the door) determines the amount of movement (stroke). Moving it down (closer to the hinge, will reduce the amount of stroke.

[MartinWilsey]

Instead of having the door swing up to open, move the hinges to the side so it swings open to the side. I did this. Added a magnetic latch to keep it closed.

[lisawaterman]

We are just starting to set up our cupboards. I have decided to only use clear bins and containers. I need to see what I've got. 😂

[Rick-xh]

Man that Ben really knows how to plan things out and he’s a pure genius when it comes to storage idea’s! Way to go Ben!!😁😁😁

[tracyking]

Put the hinges on the bottom so the door folds down to the floor with magnets or latch for the top.

[mikebrant]

Here's a thought. instead of a lift-up lid, , make it a drop-down lid, with hinges on the bottom and a mere latch on the top to hold it shut. MUCH easier to get stuff in and out - you even have a ramp! Cleverness optional, see? Also, do you have a light in there?

[josephsandall]

Flip the doors so they open down, You can put a latch on them to keep them closed

[gloriatitch]

Why don't you move the hinges to the side of the door. Then you only need a magnet on the other side to keep it closed.

[ChrisBaker-pgty]

Flip those doors so the open down! Just need good magnet closures. Will let you see in better too.

[dianadunham]

As to the suggestions to have the hinges on the bottom of the door, the kids would have to reach over the door because you would not want them resting on the door to reach their bins. Also, at least add a hinge to the center of the door to even out the warp.

[gailb]

Love the idea for under the sink! I’m looking at setting up an outdoor kitchen on our camper. I love the idea of the wire shelves upside down so items/containers don’t fall off. Might give that a go. Thanks for the food for thought. From a relatively new follower in Australia 🇦🇺

You guys always talk about the Glamper Hideaway. Have you ever considered doing a video on that?
