Thanks David, this is very kind. Unfortunately I am looking for a different kind of drawer. My fault, I should have been more precise. It's the one in the picture. But thank you nevertheless.

I have a Knoll credenza, a picture of which I posted some time ago under "Florence Knoll credenza". It differs from your picture having walnut exterior, cane not pandanus, and white painted interior walls. The drawer and shelves are, however, oak. The bottom is plywood covered in felt; there are two crews on bottom rear serving as stops. Here are pictures.

The only main difference that I can see are the radiused corners of the (earlier) American made Knoll Associates interior drawers compared to the (later) European Knoll International version otherwise, it is an identical interior drawer construction with very minor adjustments/modifications in the shape of the parts mainly the shape of the second piece from the front. Florence Knoll (the designer) is still with us at 100 years young, maybe she gets to decide...

Thanks David S & Chase for sharing your interior drawers.

Very cool, thank you, guys. You've been a big help. Since the European version is simpler, I will use that as a model for the front, but for the back I will use the ones you posted. I'll show you the result if it does not turn out too embarassing.

Hi chase, hi david, could maybe one of you give me the overall hight of your drawer in question plus the hight of the front piece? Centimeters were great, if possible. Thanks in advance.

The side maximum height is 11.2 cm, the front 6.2 cm. Neither is a nice, round number in cm or inches.

It took me quite some time, but here they are. I think my first wood working project ever came out pretty good.

Bravo!

Best,

Aunt Mark

But I simply can't believe that this is your first woodworking project. A picture of your Grandmother would help ease my doubts. Let's have a drink.

ps. do you have a garage?

Yes, I had to learn how to use tools and machines and how to cut dovetails first. I thought it would be easier (and cheaper) to be honest. Cheers.
