Kitchens & Cupboards Palmerston North

Kitchen and Cupboards Palmerston North invite you to visit our showroom at Manawatu Building Recyclers.



Kitchens & Cupboards has been in business for over 20 years manufacturing a range of high quality good value panel based products.



We started by making bookcases and storage units and have recently expanded our range to include modular kitchens that offer exceptional value.


Kitchens & Cupboards is proudly New Zealand owned.


Design and Build excellence to customer needs. It may have started out as a local backyard enterprise 20 years ago making MDF shelving and Storage units under the simple name of Mr Shelf, but today that name is associated with various company operations that have expanded into more diverse growth fields including Custom cabinetry, Specialized Garage Storage, Bookcases and Wardrobes, Quality Kitchens as well as Commercial racking and shelving, serving various markets.


The expansive factory, showroom and retail base of our MT Maunganui Company now supports the design, build and finish activities under brand names Mr Shelf, Kitchens and Cupboards and BOP Industrial and Commercial Racking. The diversity of operations in recent years, stems from the creative business interests the new owners "Husband and Wife team" Russell and Deborah Reardon. The couple, who come from a Sales and Manufacturing background recognized the growth opportunities for a company like Mr Shelf who already had the Qualified staff and systems to diversify into a wider market range of products covering Residential Customer needs i.e. Garage storage, Wardrobes, Laundries and Kitchens and also Commercial Customers requirements for more specialized Quality Cabinets and Commercial Racking to suit the individual requirements of that business.


In recent years we have built custom units for Backpacker accommodation, Retail outlets and local Bars and restaurants. Whether customers require a quick simple solution or a more specialized design service, we can handle it.


The company has recently rebranded the Kitchen Manufacturing side of the business “Kitchens and Cupboards" this was because many people were unaware that we have been manufacturing quality Kitchen units and Bench tops for 10years. “Kitchens and Cupboards" and Mr Shelf work well side by side as while we manufacture a extensive standard range of Kitchen cabinets, from time to time a more specialized or custom built cabinet is required to complete a Kitchen. This is easily achieved by our Custom Build Team ensuring the whole kitchen is ready on time for pickup by our Customers.

Kitchen and Cupboards will supply a Kitchen Ex Factory to builders and Handymen/women to install themselves or can provide the complete installation service. All Kitchen Cabinets come fully assembled with the appropriate panels and kits ready for installation. High Quality New Zealand made Melteca is supplied by Laminex and hardware and hinges include quality German brand Hafele.

Kitchens and Cupboards produces a range of 32 standard Cabinets in a choice of 8 Fashion colours and a selection of Benchtops imported from Europe in 8 different colours. Because we manufacture onsite, we have control of the process right from the beginning of an order until completion, ensuring the Customers needs are completely satisfied in the time frame we have promised. The Kitchen Team at Kitchens and Cupboards in Tauranga is lead By Chris Eustace who has over 20 years in the Building industry and whose extensive experience in designing and installing Kitchens provides a wealth of ideas invaluable when designing kitchens for challenging spaces.
