Drawer Height Guide

This page outlines information regarding cabinet drawers, with a focus on front height measurements. Please note that specification drawings are not to scale and are intended for illustrative purposes only. Minor differences between the information here and the final products may exist.

 

Notes:

  • Drawer heights cannot be customized.
  • Height dimensions provided are for drawer fronts only (not the height of available storage space within the drawer box compartment).
  • Reveals are not visually depicted or considered in the measurements provided on this page (measurements provided are for front heights only).  
  • ~ ⅛’’ (0.125’’) vertical spacings (horizontal gaps) are present between drawer fronts, however, they are not visually depicted in this document’s schematic images.  
  • All drawer slides soft-close and full extension from Blum.
  • The drawers have two-dimensional front adjustment capabilities that can be acheived using a screw driver (side clip must be removed to make adjustments).
  • Steel drawers are constructed Blum steel sides and with ⅝’’ thick MFC bottoms and backs that are a similar colour to the drawer’s steel side rails. For instance, grey Legrabox Blum drawers have grey MFC boxes, and white Antaro Blum drawers have white MFC drawer boxes, no matter the chosen box colour of the cabinet itself.
  • Dovetail wood drawer boxes are constructed with Birch. 
  • There is space at the back of the cabinet behind drawers to allow for any plumbing and/or electrical routing requirements. 
  • Drawers can easily be removed from the hosting cabinets during installation without the use of any tools. 
  • Approximate* internal storage that is available in each drawer:
    • Depth available = ~18.5''
    • Width available =  ~5'' less than the product's overall width
    • Height available (b height drawers) = ~3.5''
    • Height available (e height drawers) = ~10''
    • Height available (d height drawers) = ~12''

    *storage may vary slightly depending on the final drawer type selected.
