4 drawer stack next to 3 drawer?
Comments (8)If you're buying from the same manufacturer, they're usually built to automatically line up well. I have found, though, that for me the shallow depth of 4-drawer cabs makes them rather useless. Sure, there are things to put in them, but I can put far more in deeper, 3-drawer cabs. The top drawer is usually still the shallow one. I was able to buy a few custom cabs. Special depth for this MbR Tansu I am making. But I ordered 3-drawers and 4-drawers were delivered. Since they couldn't do anything with them, they gave them to me and ordered my 3-drawer cabs. So here I was with all these cabinets. I cut some up and have used all of them along a bedroom wall. I still don't know what to do with all those shallow drawers. Like spice cabinet drawers, I find them decorative. Here's a picture of the cabs in progress. Note how the top drawers do line up. Here is where I took a 3-drawer and cut it up, putting one of the deeper drawers on top of a 4-drawer. Things still line up: And for good measure, this is how it will fit into the run of cabs. On top of the far right, constructed drawers, I'm putting a 24x36 single door cab, and on top of that, a 24x12. But they're not made yet. So symmetry can happen. It's just a question of lines. But I strongly suggest you examine the depth of things you use regularly and buy the drawers to fit them. Then look how they line up.

Comments (17)clarygrace- Here's the current configuration of my cabinets on the ovens/rangetop wall. The only change I've decided on for sure is to eliminate that 12" tray pull out next to the ovens and simply make the drawer stack wider. It will throw off the symmetry a bit, but no one will ever notice because we have a giant island blocking the view of the base cabinets. Those drawer stacks are only 21" wide, so by eliminating the tray pull out I'll get one stack of 33" wide drawers. My plan is to make the space to the right of the rangetop my baking zone. Keep flours, sugars, and such in the upper cabinets and my rolling pins, cookie cutters, sprinkles, and such in the drawers. The drawers to the left of my rangetop will hold cooking utensils in the top drawer and bowls/pots in the bottom drawer... not sure what's going in the middle yet. Oven mitts and trivets? I honestly don't know what I'm going to do with all those upper cabinets. Besides some oils, vinegars, and specialty salts, I have no idea what to keep in the upper cabinet between my ovens and rangetop. I'm hoping for spice storage inspiration for there. I wish I could do a rack on the inside of the door, but the catalog I saw only had spice racks on smaller sized cabinets. Sigh. This all circles back to my original post about not knowing if I should get any 4 drawer stacks. :headtable:...See More3 or 4 drawer stacks
Comments (15)Drawer dimensions are always discussed by the external drawer front dimensions. Yes, the internal space is more important, but that's why you have to do the math for the type and brand of construction. It can be radically different between a frameless line and an inset one for instance. You only get 30'' of physical space to divide here. And you do want to have some type of visual continuity rather than higgledy piggledy random distribution of sizes. That usually translates to having a uniform top drawer for all cabinets, regardless of the distribution of the rest of the cabinet space. Unless you are doing 2 deep pot and pan drawers, and those are generally separated out from the rest of the cabinets by either a range, or a full height cabinet with pullout or tray storage....See MoreTop drawers in wide drawer stacks - one drawer or two?
Comments (16)I only have one wide stack, and I split the top in two - like Lisa_a, they are used for different things. One is potholders, which gets used all the time; the other is the junk/tool drawer, which is used far less (and at non-kitchen times). It may have been weird/awkward opening a 34" drawer ever time I needed a potholder. I would let function dictate. If you are using them both for similar things, definitely one....See Moresch_01
