Examine the Ideal Pullout Drawer

Dovetail Joints

Dovetail joints at each corner make our drawers strong and ready to withstand years of daily use. It also gives the drawers a classic aesthetic, for both brawn and beauty.

Handsome Hardwoods

Choose from hardwood species selected for density and attractive grain patterns: natural maple, maple, cherry, or black walnut (other species available by request). You'll also choose the height of your drawers (4" and 6" shown in photo at top). The fronts, backs and sides of our drawers are always crafted of solid wood.

Protective Clear Coat

Drawer surfaces receive a clear finish coat that forms a durable, wipeable surface of exceptional quality.

Full-Extension Slides

Full-extension ball-bearing slides provide access to the full depth of the drawer's interior, so you can easily reach items in the very back of it.

Ready for Weight

Our drawer slides are rated for 100 pounds per pair. Plywood drawer bottoms fit in grooves along the sides of the drawer for a permanent mechanical connection. A thicker bottom material is used for wider drawers, or when a drawer is intended for heavier loads to prevent bowing over time.

Scoop Style

The front of your drawers can be straight or have a scoop cut out. Scoops are typically chosen just for looks; they are not needed for function unless drawers are stacked so close that space is needed for one's hand.
Adjustable Pilaster System

Adjustable Placement

A popular option for attaching the drawer slides to the cabinet is the adjustable pilaster system. The pilasters are screwed into the sides of the cabinet. The drawer slides are fitted with hook dowels and may be moved up or down to find the perfect placement for your drawers. See a video here.
