About this deal
To make every last inch of your spice cabinet easy to reach, I suggest using over-extension drawer slides. These slides will pull out up to 1” past the opening of the cabinet. Let’s look at that beautiful set of five drawers they installed to the right. Why they didn’t simply extend those drawers to the left and use them for the spice drawer (or two) they wanted is beyond me! Make sure to add 1/2″ to the desired shelf depth for the side panel when deciding how wide to make it. Also, if you want a front lip on your shelves to help keep things in place, you will need to add 1/2″ to the width for it.
