I researched options to add side by side drawers under my breakfast bar - the clutter on top just had to go ! But not too large a drop/height (?) a drawer so knees cleared the drawers when using counter stools, plus they had to look good. I ended up with 2 of these ClosetMaid drawers as they were sturdy and attractive. The drawer assembly took 15 minutes. Then i figured out that i could put the drawer slides ON TOP of the side rails if i used a wood shim to raise the drawer slide to be just higher than the front panel. I screwed the second 'slide' directly to the underside of my breakfast bar. When looking directly at the finished drawers the 'gap' between the drawer fronts is balanced 1/2 inch and i reset them 3.5" back from the edge of the breakfast bar. When opened, i have full access to the 13.25" drawer depth / contents even though it only pulls out approx 8 inches. If i was going to overload these drawers with heavy objects used frequently, i don't know how long the shimmed pulls would last - but as this is a breakfast bar, its just placemats, napkins, tv remote, thank you cards and just 'stuff' that is no longer cluttering the top :) I still need to find a dozen little white rubber plugs (for the pre-drilled holes on the drawer sides where the slides typically go ) to completely finish the project.

Serious upgrade to my closet
I just bought these drawers, along with the bigger drawers for a closet system. I am so happy with the way the drawer system came out in my closet.

These are so much sturdier than I thought they would be, and incredibly easy to assemble. They are also very easy to place in the Selectives units and glide very smoothly. Whoever came up with the idea for these is a genius. The entire Selectives series from Home Depot is a game changer, and no, I was not paid for saying that, lol.

Works really well
Very easy installation. I did the closet install with help from husband. He assembled all the drawers. We added a top shelf and plenty of drawer space. Closet size is 9 ft long and 9 ft high. Purchased the main kit, an extra hang bar, two shelves for top, and 6 drawers.

Good product for the price.
The finished product was sturdy enough; I had initial questions about the cam lock assembly. Drawers are clean and slide easily.

Good value
I installed two of these in a 25 inch cabinet. They work very well. The rails extend the drawer so you can reach the very back of the drawer, very nice.
I didn't encounter any problems with the assembly or installation. The drawer seems sturdy and capable of bearing a good load, but I would be wary of putting very heavy articles in this or the deeper drawers. If you glue the drawers in, then maybe the drawers would be capable of higher loads.

This will be the second time I had to replace the drawer before even using it because the handle holes did not align with the handle.

They are easy to assemble but be sure you check your measurements of the tower and the drawer with the rails. I had to build my tower depth smaller with shims.
