When you're trying to keep countertop appliances like a mixer, toaster, or coffee maker out of sight but still within easy reach, an appliance garage is a practical addition to a kitchen. The main decision is usually about shape: do you need a straight unit for a straight counter run, or a corner unit to make use of an L-shaped counter? These two 18-inch cherry wood garages from National Product Co. give you exactly that choice, and they list at different prices.
Quick verdict
The straight unit is the version for a standard straight run of counter, while the corner unit is designed to fit a corner. If you have a dedicated corner spot, the corner unit is the natural match and also carries the lower listed price. If you're placing the garage along a straight stretch, the straight unit is the shape that fits that layout.
Price and design comparison
Both units are New - Open box cherry wood garages. The straight unit lists at USD 132.99, and the corner unit lists at USD 123.49.
| Product | Listed Price | Price Bar | Design Shape |
|---|---|---|---|
| National Product Co. 18\" Straight Cherry Wood kitchen Appliance Garage Unit | USD 132.99 | Straight unit | |
| National Product Co. 18\" Corner Cherry Wood kitchen Appliance Garage Unit | USD 123.49 | Corner unit |
The corner unit is the lower-priced option in this head-to-head, while the straight unit is the one to consider when a straight profile is what your counter calls for.
Where each product wins
Straight unit: Wins when you want an appliance garage along a straight run of counter. Its straight profile matches a single flat stretch better than a corner design would.
Corner unit: Wins when you want to fill a corner and make use of the L-shaped space. It is also the lower-priced of the two, so it has the edge if listed price matters most to you.
Product notes
National Product Co. 18\" Straight Cherry Wood kitchen Appliance Garage Unit
The straight unit is the version with a straight profile, which is the shape you would want for a stretch of counter that runs in one direction. It shares the 18-inch cherry wood construction and New - Open box condition with the corner unit, but the straight design is the one to match to a standard run. It is the higher-priced of the two units. The unit is new with an open box, opened for photos, so you are getting an unused garage with packaging that has been unsealed. If your counter layout is actually a corner, this straight profile will not match that angle; the corner unit is the shape designed for that spot.
National Product Co. 18\" Corner Cherry Wood kitchen Appliance Garage Unit
The corner unit is the lower-priced of the pair, and it is shaped for a corner placement. If your kitchen counter bends into an L, this unit is designed to tuck into that angle while keeping your go-to appliances within reach. It is also an 18-inch cherry wood garage, matching the straight unit's size and finish. Because the profile is angled for a corner, it won't give you the same fit along a straight run as the straight unit. Choose it when the corner is the natural home for your appliances, or when the lower listed price is the tiebreaker for you.
Final choice by use case
Pick the Straight Cherry Wood Appliance Garage Unit if your counter has a straight run and you want the garage to align with it. Pick the Corner Cherry Wood Appliance Garage Unit if you have a corner to fill and you also want the lower listed price. Both units share the same 18-inch size and cherry wood finish, so the real decision is shape and price.
