A flip front tilts out rather than swinging, and it still needs air in front of it. Roughly a foot of clear floor is enough to drop the panel and get a hand in, which is less than a hinged door wants and more than nothing. In a hallway where people stand to pull boots off, that foot is also the space they occupy, so the cabinet wants a stretch of wall away from the swing of the front door rather than beside it.

How it lives in the room

Black rattan takes the scuffs

An entryway cabinet gets kicked, and a dark woven front hides the marks a pale one records. It also reads heavier, so in a narrow hallway keep the wall behind it light. The legs lift the carcass clear of the floor, which is what lets a mop pass under instead of around.

One foot of air for the flip

Open each front once before loading and note where the panel reaches. Shoes stacked on the floor in front, a radiator or a door that opens inwards will all stop it clearing fully, and a flip front that only opens halfway makes the lower tier unreachable.

Hooks beside the door frame

The side hooks work best on the side nearer the door, where a bag or a lead is dropped on the way in. Decide which way round the cabinet goes before fixing it to the wall, because the hooks are on one side only and the wrong side means they never get used.

Before you order

Nine inches deep against forty tall is a tipping shape, and the anti-tipping device is in the box for that reason. In a hallway where people lean on the cabinet while taking shoes off, fitting it is the difference between furniture and a hazard.
