A retractable storage assembly includes a lid that is disposed in the opening when in a closed position and that moves between the closed position and an open, retracted position.

A storage area includes a base that is in a retracted position situated below the countertop when the lid is in the closed position. The base moves from the retracted position to a deployed position where the base is disposed in the opening when the lid is in the open, retracted position.
