Drawer Box

The inner container of a cabinet drawer, consisting of four sides and a bottom panel. Quality drawer boxes are built with dovetail joints and solid wood or plywood sides, while budget versions use stapled particleboard. The drawer box rides on slides or glides and supports a decorative drawer front. Box dimensions and weight capacity determine the drawer's long-term performance.
