Morgue Drawer - Pros/ Cons?

13 years ago

Any feedback on the long drawers under banquettes? Are they useful? Do you do dividers in them? Any special considerations like special wheels/ slides, weight issues etc? If you have it, do you like them and would you do them again? If you can post pictures and dimensions of your morgue drawers, I would love to see it.

I don't have any pictures of the actual door and I'm not at home right now for measurements, but we have a smaller morgue drawer in our banquette (an air intake under/through the banquette limited the length of the drawer) and I love it. It's right next to the back door and I love it. We keep all the dog stuff in it: leashes, collars, grooming tools, etc., plus a pair of gardening gloves and I throw my good pruning shears in there when I accidentally bring it in the house with me. I just put a couple of baskets in it to divide the space up a little.

Google (not GW) search kitchenkelly and morgue drawers. I'm sure she had some photos and specs on her drawer glides. They were beefy.

Sailorgirl, very nicely done! Love it.
