"While the newest trend in cabinets is personalized storage, this is the first 'kidcentric' unit of its kind," says Kalpesh Nanji, manager, Product Development, Armstrong. "It offers parents the ability to organize, engage and connect with their children in the kitchen - the room where everyone in the household spends the most time. This highly-specialized, yet very simple cabinet feature adds to the overall use of the kitchen as an all-encompassing, central room to the home environment."

KidZone is a basic 36" base cabinet that is available in a variety of Armstrong's versatile cabinet door styles installed as part of a new kitchen or remodel. It features an activity table which effortlessly slides in and out, durable work surface, paper/book storage, and a built-in tray for crayons, pencils, etc. Two large chrome wire bins provide ample and accessible storeage for toys and games.

"This innovative cabinet offers a great combination of features and accessories for kid's activities and all their 'stuff', making it easy to organize and clean up after playtime is over. Plus, the children are fully engaged in safe area away from kitchen work zones while still within view of an adult," says Nanji.

KidZone is not just for kids - it grows with the homeowner since accessories can be removed or used for other applications. It introduces an innovative lifestyle solution to any standard kitchen layout.
