Drawer Cabinet

A base cabinet that's all drawers: the same box, toe kick and top as the base cabinet, so it lines up in a run of them, with drawer fronts that match the doors next to it.

Drawer Cabinet, drawn by Benchside at its standard size

Built around your shop

  • Any width, height and depth
  • Even drawers, deep storage, shallow trays, or any rows you like
  • Side-mount slides or wood runners, and the rolling chest's joint and divider choices
  • Stretchers for a countertop, a full top, or a plywood worktop

How it goes together

  1. Cut the toe kicks, rabbets and dados (and the runner grooves, on wood runners).
  2. Glue up the box with the back and the back rail.
  3. Build the drawer boxes, mount the slides and fit the fronts.
  4. Shim it level and screw it to the studs.

The plan has every step written against the part letters in its cut list, with drawings of each part that has joinery.
