This is Blum's Legrabox Free drawer system in silk white matt, standing 177mm high. It's a precision-engineered drawer box that prioritises clean lines and exceptional function over decorative details.

Where It Fits

The 177mm height makes this suitable for deeper drawers where you need substantial storage capacity. You'll typically see this specification in base units designed for larger items like pots, serving dishes, or bulk storage. The silk white matt finish works particularly well in contemporary kitchens where you want the drawer internals to feel cohesive with white or light cabinetry.

How It Works

The drawer sides are remarkably slim at just 12.8mm thick, which means more internal storage space within the same cabinet opening. The straight sides, both inside and out, create clean parallel lines that give the drawer a precise, architectural quality. Blum's runner system is built into the design, so the drawer glides smoothly even when fully loaded.

Why It Matters

Those thin walls translate to noticeably more storage space in your drawers. The smooth operation means you can load these heavily with cookware or groceries without the drawer becoming difficult to use. The system can handle loads up to 70kg when properly specified, so even your heaviest cast iron or bulk shopping won't compromise the action.

Design Consideration

This works best when you want storage that feels integrated rather than decorative. The clean lines suit modern and contemporary kitchens particularly well. If you prefer warmth and texture in your storage details, you might find this too clinical. The white finish shows fingermarks more readily than darker alternatives, though it's easy to wipe clean.

Build Quality

Blum manufactures these to engineering tolerances rather than furniture standards. The mechanism is designed for decades of daily use, and the load-bearing capacity is genuine rather than theoretical. The silk matt finish resists showing wear better than gloss alternatives.

Options

This particular specification comes with soft-close as standard through Blum's Blumotion system. You can also specify push-to-open if you prefer handleless operation. The 70kg load rating is recommended for cabinets wider than 600mm.

Consider how much you value storage space versus visual warmth. If maximising capacity and achieving clean lines matter more than decorative detail, this system will serve you well for years.
