A kitchen assembly includes a vertically adjustable dining table capable of selectively shifting to a position depending on consumer requirements. More specifically, the kitchen assembly includes a countertop having a main work surface supported above a first base portion in a substantially horizontal plane and a vertically adjustable tabletop assembly. The tabletop assembly includes a dining surface supported by a plurality of vertically adjustable support members above a second base portion designed to shift the dining table along an adjustment path. A protective apron is arranged between the respective surfaces to prevent foreign objects from entering the adjustment path. Through operation of a control, a user can selectively set the vertical height of the dining table with respect to the countertop. Preferably, the user can set the height of the table through operation of a remote control, irrespective of the presence of objects on the dining surface.

Vertically height adjustable kitchen table assembly

An adjustable platform assembly for raising an appliance includes a platform with various spaced vertical leg members. Each of the leg members has a first mounting aperture for fixing an appliance to the platform, and a second mounting aperture for fixing an adjustable caster to the leg member. A consumer can adjust the platform assembly to a desired height by altering the height of the caster members. A decorative faceplate is provided which removably attaches to the front of the platform assembly to give the appliance a built-in look.

Appliance with integrated, vertically adjustable platform

A vertically adjustable modular kitchen system includes a modular appliance and/or storage unit including a first frame section, a base unit including a second frame section having arranged therein a plurality of vertically adjustable supports and a control. The modular appliance and/or storage and base units are designed to interconnect one with the other forming a kitchen system. The control, provided with each base unit, enables a consumer to adjust the vertical height of the kitchen assembly associated with the particular base unit by raising or lowering the vertically adjustable supports. The appliance and/or storage and base units are further designed to integrate into either wall assemblies or kitchen island assemblies. The modular appliance and/or storage units will include a variety of configurations such as storage modules and appliance modules. Appliance modules are each designed to accommodate a particular appliance enabling a consumer to design and construct a kitchen system to meet particular needs.
