Quincy-
thanks, its basically an Ikea hack I came up with.
its 4x over the fridge type cabinets hung from one of those rails inch pincher posted above, two long cabinet doors which had about 20cm cut off to fit and hinge holes redrilled to the ends. on top of that is a white marble style counter top. thats it really. sounds simple but took ages. the doors are very thin and I ended up ruining two of them when drilling in the holes for the hinges and had to buy another pair.
I put 3 hinges on each door but the length causes them to sag, so had to make a clip to hold them in place when closed. all good though, they keep perfectly level when clipped in.
Ikea also do a couple of storage boxes that fit perfectly, so you can have 4 boxes in each cabinet.
getting it all level, lined up and perfectly straight is the key to making it look good, can very easily look sloppy otherwise.

I was looking for something like this as a sideboard, they all cost £5000 or more. made one myself for about £200. mine is held in solid brickwork and I made double the amount of fixings needed just to be double sure. I wouldn't trust it in to plasterboard for any real weight, you would probably want some sort of frame bolted in to the fabric of the building to then hang the cupboards from.
its quite high up just as I'm fairly tall and didn't want it at an annoying height, like everything else is.
the depth is 60cm, height 40cm and about 8.5ft long
