Drawer in a Drawer

The Drawer in a Drawer pull out is a combination of two drawers in one unit, which is attached to rails. This drawer within a drawer combination uses a “click to open” side mount rail for the inner drawer. When the inner drawer is opened, it slides back towards the cabinet to reveal the drawer beneath it. It is ideal for utility/cutlery items while the drawer space beneath is ideal for bigger items such as pots and lids.

Charlie Rose is a wonderful person and very kind and nice person who knows his business. He knows his job well and did an excellent job installing our pull-out shelves. Will get him back here if additional work is needed. I have hired many workers throughout the years and Charlie is the best I have ever seen.

We had a lovely experience with Charlie and Shelf Genie of Nashville. He is responsive, thoughtful, and takes the time to understand what you are envisioning. I like the added touch that he is responsible for both the design and install, so you're not dealing with third party companies (and there's no disconnect between your design meetings and actual installation!). We couldn't be happier with the custom closet for our twins that we are currently expecting. Thank you Charlie for such a great experience! We will definitely be using him again for other closet and custom shelving needs.
