13 Space-Saving Options You Didn’t Know You Need

Today’s homeowners demand both style and substance from their cabinetry, and that means making the most of every available inch of their project design.

Using the best materials, construction methods, and design features doesn’t just help a client optimize the valuable real estate throughout their home. It can transform the way they live.

Quality Materials & Construction Will Maximize Space

When it comes to space-saving solutions, the material choice and construction quality of your drawer boxes are critical. 

Meridian Products offers a variety of materials to suit both aesthetic preferences and space needs. Elegant species like Walnut and White Oak, or more cost-effective choices like White Birch and Cherry, are just some of the options that are available.

Our drawer boxes feature sturdy dovetail construction that not only provides excellent durability but also maximizes interior space by eliminating bulky corner joints.

They’re manufactured in precise 1/8” or 5/8” increments, ensuring they fit flush and maximize available cabinet space. You can choose ¾” or 5/8” sides with ¼” or 1/8” bottoms, which allows you to optimize interior volume based on storage needs.

For unique spaces that require creative solutions, we offer specialty construction options. Drawer boxes under 7-1/2” deep or over 18-3/16” high feature butt and screw construction, which is perfect for maximizing storage in challenging dimensions. 

We also provide flexibility with bottom options, from overlaid flush bottoms to inlaid flush designs. No space goes unutilized!
