The TANDEMBOX antaro is Blum's medium-height drawer box system, standing at 116mm tall. This is their K height variant, designed for drawers that need more vertical space than standard options but don't require the full depth of their tallest systems.

Where It Fits

You'll typically find this height works well for deeper storage drawers in base units, particularly where you're storing taller items like bottles, jars, or stacked crockery. The 116mm height gives you useful depth while still fitting comfortably within standard base unit dimensions.

How It Works

The drawer box mounts on Blum's BLUMOTION runners, which handle the soft-close mechanism. When you push the drawer shut, it catches and glides closed on its own. The system is designed around a nominal 450mm length, though it adapts to different cabinet widths as needed.

Why It Matters

The soft-close function means drawers close quietly and consistently, even when they're heavily loaded. With a 30kg weight capacity, these drawers can handle substantial storage without compromising the closing action. The medium height gives you practical storage depth for everyday kitchen items without the bulk of deeper drawer systems.

Design Consideration

This height works well when you want substantial drawer storage but need to maintain proportions within your kitchen design. It's less suitable if you're planning very shallow drawers for cutlery and small items, or if you need maximum storage depth for large pots and appliances.

Build Quality

The drawer sides are made from MFC (melamine-faced chipboard) with the runner mechanism built to Blum's standards. The grey finish provides a neutral backdrop that won't compete with your chosen internal fittings. Blum backs this with a lifetime guarantee on the mechanism.

Installation Notes

Your kitchen requires a minimum internal cabinet depth of 453mm to accommodate these drawers. The installation height needed is 130.5mm. The fixings aren't included, so these will be specified separately based on your particular cabinet construction.
