Drawer box cut list (Baltic birch, 22 inch slides) Four drawer boxes, 22" deep, 20" wide and 6" tall, for a cabinet with 22" full-extension slides. The sides, fronts and backs come from 1/2" Baltic birch, and the bottoms from 1/4". Baltic birch usually comes in 5 x 5 ft sheets, so that is the stock here.

Fronts and backs are 1" shorter than the box width because they fit between the 1/2" sides. Bottoms sit in a 1/4" groove, 1/4" deep, on all four sides.
Most side-mount slides need the box 1" narrower than the opening, 1/2" each side. Check your slides' instructions before cutting.
