This is Blum's LEGRABOX Free drawer system in their C height specification, measuring 177mm deep. It's a premium drawer box system that prioritises clean lines and exceptionally slim profiles, with drawer sides measuring just 12.8mm thick.

Where It Fits

The 177mm height makes this suitable for medium-depth storage in your kitchen. You'll typically find this specification working well for cutlery drawers, utensil storage, or smaller cookware. It fits into most base cabinet configurations where you need organised storage without the full depth of larger drawer systems.

How It Works

The LEGRABOX system uses Blum's cabinet profile runner technology, which means the runners are integrated into the drawer sides rather than mounted separately. This creates the notably smooth opening and closing action. The system can handle loads up to 40kg in standard configurations, or 70kg for cabinets wider than 600mm.

Why It Matters

The slim 12.8mm sides mean you lose minimal internal storage space to the drawer mechanism itself. The smooth running action remains consistent whether the drawer is empty or fully loaded, so your daily kitchen routine isn't interrupted by sticking or uneven movement, even when drawers are packed with heavy items.

Design Consideration

The straight, parallel sides create very clean internal lines that work particularly well in contemporary kitchen designs. However, the system's precision means it requires accurate cabinet construction. The slim profile, while elegant, may not suit every kitchen style, particularly more traditional designs where chunkier details might be preferred.

Build Quality

The stainless steel finish provides durability and maintains its appearance over time. The runner system is built into the drawer sides, creating fewer separate components that could potentially fail. The mechanism maintains its smooth action under the full weight capacity.

Options

You can specify this with Blum's BLUMOTION soft-close technology, or TIP-ON BLUMOTION which adds push-to-open functionality alongside soft-close. The system is available as fully assembled drawers made to your exact dimensions, or as components if you prefer to handle assembly during installation.

Closing Guidance

Consider this system when you want clean internal storage lines and reliable daily performance. The 177mm height works well for frequently accessed items that don't require the deepest storage. The investment makes sense where smooth operation and minimal visual bulk matter to your kitchen's daily function and long-term satisfaction.
