Italian term or phrase: ante unite
Hi folks - description of a kitchen cabinet. The furniture has various types of door and this model has "ante unite".
I suppose they mean a normal pair of doors - can anyone confirm?
Thanks

hinged doors
Explanation:
Hi Angela
I'm wondering if it refers to something like a corner cupboard where the doors are at right angles in the closed position but hinged together so that they both open to one side for easier access.

I checked my text and in fact they are corner units, so that makes all the difference!!! I was thinking of something totally different ... of course if someone had bothered to send the illustations for the captions, that and a few other mysteries would have been solved.
Also used your "gull-wing doors" from teh judoz glossary.
Thanks Russell
