Question
can you tell me if there is some special hardware involved in making a
tall,72"X15" wide cabinet with 5 pillout drawers. i want it to have the
front of the cabinet pull straight out, with 2 drawers coming out with it
for stability. once it is out the other 3 drawers can be pulled out
individually and can be accessed from both sides. i have seen these in
books and at IKEA. my cabinet maker says he could do them and now
can't figure out how to make the front stable enouigh. please help us.
thanks sue
