Upper cabinets become quite usable if one has a proper ladder, that's
the sole reason why just last week I ordered this, sure beats standing
on a chair or dragging the 6' wooden ladder in from the garage each
time... this hides behind my office door... extremely stable:

We have deep cabinets over the stove and over the fridge. The cabinet
over the fridge is where I store a ton of plastic freezer containers,
just neatened them up and tossed a bunch I never use... cabinet over
the stove holds paper goods; coffee filters, napkins, paper towels,
and lots of disposable picnic stuff.
That handy dandy ladder has already convinced me to change smoke alarm
batteries that were due months ago.... next new flourescent tubes in
the kitchen fixture, one of the four is already out.
