Create drawers under bathroom sinks

Marty Flanakin on Jan 28, 2016I don't know about drawers, but you can buy "hinges" which allow the drawers front tip forward. I've had my builder install them in 2 separate houses. It's where I kept toothbrushes/toothpaste/etc in one and combs and brushes in the other.Helpful Reply

Tracy C on Jan 29, 2016I think I would detach the drawer front then build my bottom. You will probably have to make it a "U" shape to avoid the sink and/or plumbing. Then they have the drawer glides that you attach to each side. I don't think you'll have to worry about the middle beause it shouldn't be real heavy. Then you get the drawer glides at Home Depot or Lowes. This is alot of work but will give you a quite a bit more storage than the tip out, if you need the extra space. Honestly, I would go for the tip outs - way easier and like Marty said - great spot for toothbrushes/paste. Good luck!Helpful Reply

Mag1120776 on Jan 29, 2016First, check to determine if the drain wil prohibit a drawer under the sink. That is usually the reason for the false drawer front.Helpful Reply

Dianne devoll on Jan 29, 2016we used a dresser as a base for our sink. contractor cut the drawers in three sections. The middle "section" had a fake front, didn't open but the two side ones were long skinny drawers. the diminsions depends on plumbing but, it will work.Helpful Reply
