What It Is

This is Blum's LEGRABOX drawer system in M height (90.5mm) with internal clear glass sides and a stainless steel finish. The drawer sides are remarkably slim at just 12.8mm thick, with straight internal and external surfaces that create clean, parallel lines. The clear glass allows you to see the contents while the stainless steel components provide the structural framework.

Where It Fits

These drawers work well in contemporary kitchens where you want storage that feels lighter and more open than traditional solid-sided drawers. The glass sides make them particularly suited to displaying items you're proud of, like quality glassware, fine china, or organised pantry items. They suit kitchens with good internal lighting where the transparency becomes a feature rather than exposing clutter.

How It Works

The drawer operates on Blum's LEGRABOX runner system, which you'll notice from the first time you pull it open. The motion feels controlled and precise, with the drawer extending fully even when heavily loaded. You can specify soft-close BLUMOTION, which means the drawer closes gently regardless of how firmly you push it, or TIP-ON BLUMOTION for handle-free operation where a light touch opens the drawer.

Why It Matters

The clear glass sides change how you think about drawer storage. Items become more accessible because you can see exactly what's inside without opening every drawer. This works particularly well for frequently used items or when multiple people use the kitchen. The slim profile means you gain internal space compared to thicker drawer systems, while the quality of the mechanism means smooth operation even with heavy loads up to 70kg.

Design Consideration

These drawers work best when you're organised and enjoy having your storage on display. If you prefer to hide clutter or store items haphazardly, solid-sided drawers might suit you better. The glass requires occasional cleaning to maintain the clean appearance, and you'll want to consider what's stored in adjacent drawers as the contents will be visible from the side.

Build Quality

The stainless steel framework provides the structural strength while the clear glass panels are properly supported within the system. The 12.8mm thickness might look delicate, but the engineering behind it allows for substantial load-bearing capacity. The runner mechanism is built to Blum's standards, which means consistent performance over many years of daily use.

Options

You can choose between different runner options: standard operation, soft-close BLUMOTION, or the push-to-open TIP-ON BLUMOTION system. Load capacities are available in 40kg and 70kg versions, with the higher capacity recommended for drawers wider than 600mm. The drawers can be made to your exact internal dimensions.

Closing Guidance

Consider whether the transparency aligns with how you want to use your kitchen storage. If you like the idea of visible, organised storage and appreciate precision engineering, these drawers could work well in your kitchen. The key question is whether you'll enjoy the discipline of keeping the contents presentation-ready.
