The drawer and carcass are built from precise, CNC-cut 16mm black PVC board, manufactured using a compressed and extruded process. Our drawer sets are NOT made from plywood — unlike plywood, our material is moisture-resistant, doesn’t splinter or split, is extremely durable yet lightweight, and boasts a sleek, subtle black finish.
Heavy-duty 227kg-rated runners are used, providing full extension up to 1200mm. The convenient one-hand handle activates and deactivates the runners, which lock in three positions: closed, mid-extension, and fully extended. Drawer dividers are included, which can be installed wherever you need. All necessary mounting hardware is supplied.
Drawer dividers are also included which you can fit off wherever you wish and all mounting hardware is supplied.
