Under-Bed Drawer Easy To Build— Even Easier To Fill!
Family Handyman
|June 2019
This project is really just a box on rollers. What makes it unique is that it glides on appliance rollers instead of casters.
They’re low profile and super strong, and they roll smoothly over carpet and hard flooring. Appliance rollers cost about $20 per pair at home centers and online. The project cost depends on the wood you choose. Before building, measure the height beneath your bed frame and alter our dimensions to suit.

1 BUILD THE BOX
Drill countersink holes and fasten the sides (B) to the ends (C) with wood glue and 2-in. screws. Attach the base (A) using the same method.
