Our wardrobe (forgot from which furniture store) had two drawers that were 36 cm deep, but there was room for 54 cm - wasted potential for a 50 % increase of usable space!
Of course, that had to be changed and I tackled this project as soon as we got our first router table running in the CoMakingSpace.
Notes
- originally wanted to replace just the sides, but different style of slides, higher walls & thicker bottom desired
- ...
Build Photos
- mouseover/click for more information!
the wasted space before this project - the cheap (weak & short) drawer slides were probably one of the reasons against including full-size drawers
old drawers taken out to take measurements of the wardrobe
one of the old drawers taken apart to take measurements of its components
plans taking shape on a common room table
