What It Is

These are the steel drawer sides that form part of Blum's TANDEMBOX Antaro drawer system. At 68.5mm high, they're the lowest profile option in the range, designed for shallow drawers where you need maximum access but minimal visual weight.

Where It Fits

You'll typically find these in cutlery drawers, spice storage, or any shallow drawer where the contents need to be easily visible and accessible. They work particularly well in contemporary kitchens where clean lines matter, and in smaller kitchens where every millimetre of storage height counts.

How It Works

The sides attach to your chosen drawer base and work with Blum's runner system to create a complete drawer. The 68.5mm height gives you a shallow drawer box that keeps items from getting buried while maintaining a sleek profile when the drawer is closed.

Why It Matters

Shallow drawers change how you store and find things. Rather than digging through deep spaces, everything sits in a single layer where you can see it immediately. This height is particularly useful for items you reach for frequently, making your daily kitchen routine more efficient.

Design Consideration

This low profile works beautifully for organised storage but won't suit everything. You'll need to consider what you're storing, larger items like mixing bowls or tall bottles won't fit. The grey steel finish integrates well with most kitchen styles but is visible when drawers are open.

Build Quality

Blum manufactures these from steel with their lifetime guarantee. The sides fix with screws and are designed to work seamlessly with their runner mechanisms. You'll need to factor in the installation requirements, including the minimum cabinet depth.

Closing Guidance

Consider how you use your kitchen storage. If you value being able to see everything at a glance and prefer organised, accessible storage over maximum capacity, these low-profile sides could work well in your design. Your kitchen designer will help you determine which heights work best for your specific storage needs.
