Rev-A-Shelf Drawer Box w/Blum Soft-Close, Min Cabinet Opening 14.75" W

Why it's worth it

This Rev-A-Shelf pairs a clear-coat maple drawer with Blum's undermount soft-close slides, the same dampening hardware used in European custom cabinetry. It fits a 14.75-inch opening and mounts to the cabinet floor.

Blum's soft-close is the benchmark other dampers get compared to, and getting it on a maple drawer box at this size is the whole appeal. The slides pull the drawer in quietly from about halfway and never bounce back. Owners describe having to give it a small tug to release from closed, which is the dampener doing its job.

The clear-coat maple is visually neutral. It reads fine against painted white interiors and against natural wood, so you're not looking at a mismatched box every time you open the door. It also cleans up better than a raw or laminated surface when something spills.
