         6 . The cabinet of  claim 1 , wherein the carousel reciprocates between the first and second positions. 
     
     
         7 . The cabinet of  claim 1 , wherein the carousel rotates between the first and second positions. 
     
     
         8 . The cabinet of  claim 1 , wherein the carousel reciprocates and rotates between the first and second positions. 
     
     
         9 . The cabinet of  claim 1 , wherein the carousel moves in simultaneous reciprocation and rotation between the first and second positions. 
     
     
         10 . A cabinet comprising:
 a housing having a door configured to provide access to an interior of the housing, the interior having a front portion and a back portion;   a carousel disposed in the housing, the carousel having a primary storage area and a secondary storage area;   in a first position of the carousel, the primary storage area is visible in the front portion of the housing and the secondary storage area is concealed in the back portion of the housing; and   in a second position of the carousel, the primary storage area and the secondary storage area are in the front portion of the housing.   
     
     
         11 . The cabinet of  claim 10 , wherein the carousel reciprocates and rotates between the first and second positions. 
     
     
         12 . The cabinet of  claim 10 , wherein the carousel moves in simultaneous reciprocation and rotation between the first and second positions.
