This month was set to be a highly gripping instalment on drawer runners and hinges. Did you manage to contain your excitement? Well, I’ll cut to the chase. I went for Blum’s Legrabox drawers because they are a) easy to clean, b) smart looking and c) strong enough for me to sit in (should we ever run out of chairs). I’ve had fancy oak drawers with pretty dovetails before but, despite my cabinetmaker husband’s best efforts with sealants and lacquers, spilt honey and cast-iron pans ruined them. Sometimes it’s better to embrace newer tech, preferably German-made with Germanic precision.
THIS HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE, BUT 100% WORTH IT
