Just got these installed today.
We had a couple of very inexpensive Sterlite plastic drawer sets on wheels that we got from Walmart in the pantry. These things were a PITA since we got them (about a year and a half ago). I finally got around to building some decent built in drawer units to replace them.
Here is the pantry before the upgrade. These are actually taken after LOML had removed a lot of stuff from the pantry floor.
And here are the new drawer cabinets installed.
Sorry for the pictures. It's quite hard to take pictures in a pantry.
Anyway. The cabinets are made from 3/4" oak plywood. Drawer boxes are 1/2" Lowes blondwood with 1/4" baltic birch bottoms. Face frames and drawer fronts are 3/4" solid oak. Five of the seven drawers all came from the same board. Lot's of bookmatching going on on those drawer fronts. The cabinet on the left has three 9-1/2" deep drawers. The right cabinet has four 7" deep drawers. All of the drawers are 24" wide and 11" front to back.
The cabinets, face frames and drawer fronts (front and back) are stained with Minwax Golden oak and finished with Minwax Polycrilic satin. The drawer boxes and all interior cabinet surfaces are finished with Zinsser SealCoat dewaxed shellac.
Thanks to everyone that offered tips in my finishing thread. I used those comments and advice a lot on this small project.
