Simultaneously, specific spaces are kept for a chimney-shaped tissue dispenser, paper towel holder bar, and a condiment basket in the house-shaped cabby of the cupboard. Moreover, dish rack and a cup cabinet along with a few hinges are added for hanging the glassware like a chandelier in the cupboard.
