        Hello,

        I am looking into using cabinets B2DR, B2DR2RO and have a few question: When B2DR is configured for slab front do both drawers get slab fronts? what are the internal heights of each drawer? When B2DR2RO is configured for slab front do both drawers get slab fronts? Can B2DR2RO cabinet be configured such that there is no hidden rollout for the bottom drawer? What are the internal heights of the drawers and the rollouts? Do I use B2DRTALL in Chief Architect for these cabinets?

        Thank you!

          Yes, so long as you order the “door and drawer fronts” style as “slab plywood”, then all the fronts will be slab/flat.

          Sure, see the attached images for a side view of each cabinet.

          To get a 2 drawer with only the top rollout, you would need to order the B2DR and request that a custom rollout be added to the the top opening in the order notes at checkout. Attempting to delete a rollout would cause paperwork issues if we added that request to the B2DR2RO.

              Hello,
              A few more questions: If a single rollout is to be added to a B2DR cabinet, what would be customization cost? Can two B2DR cabinets be connected at 90 degrees? In such a configuration is possible, if a filler required, what kind of a filler and what are the dimensions of such a filler? My design will potentially have additional B2DRs that are 36 3/4 in. and 33 in. wide. Would such large drawer widths and/or rollouts wobble when pulling/pushing them in/out? Would they need additional structural support?

                You need a minimum of 3″ in the “dead corner” to allow the filler widths to provide proper clearance for drawers and any hardware that may protrude from the drawer fronts. Here’s a picture showing how I would handle an inside corner like this.

                Basically, you would order a 4″ wide filler and a 3″ wide filler. The 4″ filler allows the 3″ filler to butt into its face and be screwed in from the back, creating a very stable inside corner. You can then attach the assembly to the base cabinets from either the interior or exterior.

                    When ordering fillers for a dead corner where the adjacent drawer cabinets have a recessed toe kick, should you order the filler at 30.5 and back the gap in the corner with 2x4s then apply toe skin? or order filler to the floor at 34.5, still needing some toe skin in a different orientation?

                    Thank you! These pictures are extremely helpful to understand and incorporate in the design. Very much appreciate the assistance.

                      Personally, I would hold the fillers at 30.50″ so you have toe kick space underneath the filler. This allows you to block out the void space using a 2×4, as you mentioned, and then use a toe skin to cover the corner area.

                      The alternative is to use a full-height filler at 34.50″ tall, which breaks up the toe kick and adds a transition point in the corner. I am not a fan of this approach because the front bottom corner of the filler is then exposed to a lot of abuse when cleaning the floor. That bottom front corner is going to get hit repeatedly over the years and may require constant touch-up or replacement, while also being right there in plain view every time you use the kitchen.

                      In my opinion, it is better to eliminate that future headache by using a toe skin in the back corner.
