What It Is

This is Blum's LEGRABOX drawer box in their F height format, standing 241mm tall with carbon black matt sides. It's part of Blum's premium drawer system, delivered fully assembled and ready to install in your kitchen cabinets.

Where It Fits

The F height works well for deep storage drawers where you need substantial capacity. Think pots and pans, large serving dishes, or bulky kitchen equipment. The carbon black finish suits contemporary kitchens, particularly those with darker cabinet interiors or where you want the drawer mechanism to recede visually.

How It Works

The drawer sides are remarkably slim at just 12.8mm thick, running parallel to give clean, straight lines inside and out. You can specify soft-close BLUMOTION runners that cushion the closing action, or TIP-ON BLUMOTION which adds push-to-open functionality for handleless designs. The system can carry either 40kg or 70kg depending on your runner choice.

Why It Matters

Those thin sides mean more usable storage space within your cabinet opening. The smooth running action holds true even when the drawer is fully extended and heavily loaded. In daily use, this translates to drawers that feel solid and controlled, whether you're reaching for a heavy casserole dish or placing delicate glassware inside.

Design Consideration

The linear design language works beautifully in minimalist kitchens where clean geometry matters. However, if your kitchen has more traditional detailing or curved elements, the stark precision of LEGRABOX might feel too clinical. The carbon black matt finish shows fingerprints and dust more readily than lighter colours, something to consider for frequently accessed drawers.

Build Quality

This is Austrian engineering from Blum, a company known for precision hardware. The drawer boxes arrive fully assembled, eliminating the risk of poor field assembly. The matt finish is applied consistently, and the parallel sides maintain their geometry under load.

Options

You can choose between 40kg and 70kg load ratings, with the heavier duty version recommended for drawers wider than 600mm. Runner options include standard soft-close or the push-to-open variant for handleless applications. Each drawer is made to your exact internal dimensions.

Closing Guidance

Consider how this drawer height fits with your storage needs and whether the stark, linear aesthetic matches your kitchen's character. The carbon black works particularly well when you want the internal mechanism to disappear visually, letting your stored items take centre stage.
