This is Blum's MERIVOBOX drawer system in the N height configuration at 68.5mm, finished in Orion grey matt. It's a modern drawer box system that forms the foundation for pull-out storage throughout your kitchen, from cutlery drawers to larger pan storage.

Where It Fits

The N height works well for standard drawer applications where you need moderate storage depth without sacrificing accessibility. At 68.5mm, it sits comfortably in base units for everyday items like utensils, small appliances, or tableware. The Orion grey matt finish provides a neutral backdrop that works with both contemporary and more traditional kitchen styles.

How It Works

The system uses an L-shaped cabinet profile that creates exceptional stability, even when the drawer is fully loaded. The straight-line design includes subtle detailing that catches light along the drawer sides. You can specify this with Blum's soft-close runners for gentle, controlled closing, or their push-to-open mechanism if you prefer handle-free operation.

Why It Matters

The stability becomes apparent in daily use. Heavy items like stacked plates or full cutlery inserts don't cause the drawer to flex or feel unstable when you pull it out. The platform design means all your drawers operate consistently, whether they're shallow utensil storage or deeper pan drawers, creating a cohesive feel throughout your kitchen.

Design Consideration

This height works best when you want clean lines without excessive visual weight. The 68.5mm dimension provides good storage capacity while maintaining proportions that feel right in most kitchen scales. However, if you're storing very tall items or need maximum storage volume, you might need to consider the taller configurations in the range.

Build Quality

Blum's manufacturing shows in the precise tolerances and smooth operation. The grey matt finish is durable and doesn't show fingerprints or water marks as readily as gloss alternatives. The adjustment mechanisms are accessible and clearly marked, which matters during installation and any future fine-tuning.

When we specify these for your kitchen, we'll consider the specific items you need to store and how the drawer height works with your overall design. The beauty of this system is its consistency, so once we establish it works for your needs, it can be applied throughout your kitchen with confidence.
