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.
