Drinks Cabinets and Trolleys: Storage, Height and Serving Space

A drinks cabinet can hide bottles and glassware, while a trolley keeps a serving area open and visible. Decide which job matters most and list what you need to store. Bottle height, glass racks and door openings can matter more than the external width.

Measure the contents as well as the cabinet

Stand your tallest bottle and glasses together and record their height. Ask for internal shelf and glass-rack clearances where they are not listed. External height does not show how that space is divided, and a wine-glass rack will not necessarily fit every stem shape.

Check how it opens and how you will serve

Leave space for cabinet doors to open without striking a sofa or table. A tall cabinet changes the wall’s visual balance; the two 97 cm-wide examples differ by 86 cm in height. A trolley makes a different arrangement again, with its contents remaining visible.

If you intend to move a trolley, check the floor surface, castor instructions and the product’s load guidance. Do not assume it is designed to cross steps or carry a particular load while moving. Ask whether any brakes or retention features are provided if these matter to the intended use.

Choose finishes and care together

Bloomville’s decorative surface is described as a PU faux finish, while Coat uses silver-leaf detailing. Follow the exact care instructions for finishes, mirrors and glass. Explore home-bar furniture or contact our team for missing internal measurements.
