Lower overhead. More profit.

Our ability to produce high quality drawers lets cabinet manufacturers add more value to their products. Outsourcing your drawer boxes means lower overhead and more profit to you.

We are confident that just showing our drawers to your customers proves our craftsmanship. Dovetail construction is also a visible quality difference when a client opens the drawer.

Three steps from sizes to boxes.

  1. Measure

    Measure each opening and subtract your slide clearance. Our measuring guide walks through width, depth, and height.

  2. Fill in the sheet

    List up to 25 sizes in decimal inches, set the specs once, and send. You can paste rows straight from Excel. Prefer paper? Download the blank order sheet (PDF).

  3. We confirm

    Nothing is priced online. We confirm pricing and lead time by phone or email, then build to your order. Pick-up, California Drawers delivery, or carrier can be selected on the sheet.
