Drawer in a Drawer

The Drawer in a Drawer pull out is a combination of two drawers in one unit, which is attached to rails. This drawer within a drawer combination uses a “click to open” side mount rail for the inner drawer. When the inner drawer is opened, it slides back towards the cabinet to reveal the drawer beneath it. It is ideal for utility/cutlery items while the drawer space beneath is ideal for bigger items such as pots and lids.

    Had a wonderful experience from start to finish with everyone at ShelfGenie. They listened to what we wanted, measured everything out and installed everything seamlessly. All the upgrades are great, but we especially love our mixer lift. I would highly recommend this team to anyone looking to make their kitchen more functional.

  • Denise Villbrandt

    We recently moved into a new house which had regular builder-grade cabinets in our kitchen. My husband enjoys cooking but has some limitation due to his arthritis. We had ShelfGenie come in and install pull-out drawers in our lower cabinets. What a difference this is for us! It is so much easier for us the access our kitchen items. ShelfGenie worked within our budget, showed up when they said, the install was painless. The quality of the work was just as we expected! We highly recommend!

    The process was easy. The outcome is fantastic. Everything is neat and orderly, best of all, I don’t have to dig through the cabinet to find things. The spice racks are awesome. I love an organized pantry/cupboard.
