Randy - forget about the toe kicks and build roll out drawers for storage
there. That’s a new design feature that’s in vogue now. They just frame shallow
boxes and put these big wheels on the sides so you can roll them in and out.
Makes for a nice place to store stuff like cookie sheets or cutting boards.

Too late for that for me. If I were building them now, I might do that
but these were built years ago and the base cabinets sit on rectangular
frames made out of 2X4s. The oak that I said needed to be applied will
just complete the look and cover the pine that is currently visible. I
think, that if I were to put drawers in the toe kick space, I would make
the toe kick taller than normal in order to get a drawer that had some
functional use - probably only an inch or so higher, but more than might
be normal. We have also installed a cork floor since the cabinets were
built so we have further reduced the height that would be available if I
was convinced I should try to open the fronts of the toe kick to install
drawers.
