Being a tall guy I have no trouble reaching the top shelf be it for liquor or the seldom used glasses and crockery in the kitchen cabinets. Others may not have it so easy and so there are stools and ladders and such similar height assists.

A row of high-mounted kitchen cabinets are actually individual units, each mounted on vertical tracks set into the walls. On the lower edge of each are two buttons. Pressing one will gently lower that cabinet to countertop level for easily accessing the upper shelves, and the other will raise the cabinet as smoothly back upwards.

I think you did, something about bringing the top of a cabinet arcing down for access.

I won't say "WKTE", but powered-lift/lower cupboards have been around a while.
