The item in my kit

I bought KYEVIS Over-Door Shoe Organizer as part of my camper van equipment.

The KYEVIS organizer belongs to my purchased storage equipment. My drawer project illustrates why I kept returning to the same questions of usable space, access direction and how separate items would be grouped.

Where it fits my build

I built the storage-bin drawer frame on the patio from a measured layout. I joined the timber, added inside corner brackets and fitted the base before moving on to the lining.

I cut the rubber mat with scissors, cleaned the wood and used spray adhesive in sections with a roller. Screws and washers attached the mat, and the slides joined the drawer to its surrounding cabinet frame.

My build notes

The drawer went through several distinct stages before it could slide in the cabinet. The photographs show the exposed frame first and the lined drawer later, making the changes in access and fastening positions visible.

Measuring, framing, lining and slide installation were separate stages of the drawer assembly.

On the patio during the roof-storage project.
