The storage project involved building up a frame, base and lining, each with its own edges. This metal nosing is part of my purchased edge-finishing materials.
I bought TMH Dark Stair Nosing as part of my camper van equipment.

Comparing the Section Across a Built-up Leading Edge
I built the storage drawer frame and plywood base.
I fitted rubber mat over the base and sides with adhesive and fasteners.
My edge-finishing purchases also included a dark aluminum nosing profile.

My Takeaway from This Job
The drawer layers provide context for the separate edges in a built-up surface. TMH, M-D and Wooster compare by section shape, face finish and strip length, with the M-D option changing to silver aluminum and Wooster adding a dark tread surface.
Compare the section, finish and length of an edge profile.

A nosing profile covers the meeting point of a platform top and its front edge. Measure both legs against the finished surface layers rather than the bare timber alone. Cut the length to meet the adjoining trim and mark the fasteners with the profile held in its final position. Check that drawer fronts or lids still move past it. This edge treatment belongs in the final fitting sequence after the base and lining thicknesses have been settled.
