Written by Lino Di Betta | 15 May 2023

Drawer units have the highest capacity and are the most practical of our workshop cabinets. Mounted in the workbench, they are available in different heights, lengths and number of drawers. But in order to be truly functional in the workshop, a drawer unit must have certain features that increase its quality.

When choosing metal drawers for under a workbench, check several respects of quality.

The reason is quite obvious: they must repay the investment made, they must resist wear and the passing of time, otherwise you’ll be back to where you started in just a few years.

The quality of metal drawers for under a workbench can be recognised in some specific details, which positively affect the quality of the work when combined. Only by relying on a few essential features, is it possible to have a piece of furniture that is really useful for workshop productivity.
