If you’ve ever fumbled around in a dark drawer searching for a spatula, a flashlight, or that one coffee scoop you swear was just there, this one’s for you.
Meet Zenith, the newest premium drawer system available from Superior Cabinets. Designed, engineered, and manufactured in Germany by Hettich, Zenith features built-in LED lighting that automatically turns on when the drawer is opened. No wiring. No electrician. Just sleek, intuitive functionality that brings a new level of convenience and modern style to your kitchen or bathroom. Let’s break down why these drawers might be the upgrade you never knew you needed.
Convenience, Right Where You Need It
The inside of cabinet drawers are often overlooked when it comes to lighting, but they can also be one of the darkest parts of any cabinet. Zenith solves the everyday frustration of digging through dark drawers by bringing light directly inside. This makes Zenith the perfect lighting solution for new cabinetry, especially where hard-wired lighting isn’t an option.
- Auto-on LED lighting inside every drawer
- Rechargeable battery packs with a long charge cycle (recharge typically once per year)
- Plug-and-play installation—no electrician or rewiring required
Aesthetic Meets Engineering
Zenith doesn’t just perform well, it looks the part, too. The sleek, straight-line anthracite black drawer sides offer a modern, streamlined look with no exposed screw heads or cover caps. It’s form and function in perfect balance. This is cabinet hardware you’ll actually want to show off.
- Double-walled steel drawer sides
- Silent soft-close glides helps prevent slamming or jarring
- Smooth, Full extension (550mm) glides for easy access
- Powder-coated finish for scratch resistance
Aging in Place Design in Mind
As we age, everyday tasks can become a little more challenging. Zenith drawers offer built-in lighting to enhance visibility, making them an ideal choice for homeowners seeking to future-proof their kitchen. Whether you’re designing for long-term accessibility or love added comfort and ease, Zenith supports independent living at every stage of life.
Durable, Practical, and Surprisingly Smart
Zenith drawers are designed to withstand whatever life throws their way, from stacks of plates to heavy cast-iron pans. They’re also compatible with a variety of customizable storage accessories, such as utensil trays, dividers, and spice inserts.
- 88 lb (40 kg) heavy load capacity
- Thermofused melamine drawer bottoms and backs (5/8” thick)
- Optional organization systems available
- Limited lifetime warranty for residential use
Is It Worth It?
We’ll be honest: Zenith is our most premium drawer system. It’s not for every project, but for those who want to invest in convenience, beauty, and long-term usability, it’s well worth the upgrade and for some homeowners. It’s love at first light.
