How can I turn cupboards into drawers?

[bluewisteria]

With minimal DIY effort that is!
I have a standard cupboard unit and am wondering if there are any drawers I can put inside - pull out mesh baskets on screw in runner type things are fine - without taking off the door/putting in 'proper' drawers. A drawer hack basically...

Yes you can buy exactly that and retrofit. They are very variable in quality - look at the max loading weight. Lots of places - my shortlist was argos, b&q and ebay, but any kitchen seller will have them in standard widths.

In the end we went with a mix of clear plastic boxes (ikea samla) and plain shelf to squeeze out every bit of useable space.

it would be very much less trouble to just buy a drawer unit.

You can get basket/vegetable rack things with side runners, but they are often not quite the right size.
