Hello Kerstin, My wife and I are in the beginning process of remodeling our kitchen and we are thinking of replacing our corner cabinets with floating shelves. We are leaning towards wood that would match the band around the vent hood. My question to you is, do we start the first shelf flush with the bottom of the cabinets or move them up a bit for an offest look. We plan on having flush mounted LED's under th cabinets as well as the three shelves. Thanks - Mark
