I bought madesmart Large Deep Storage Bin as part of my camper van equipment.

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.
The drawer after I fitted its rubber lining.
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.
Alternative products

This open plastic bin has a narrow rectangular body and carry grips. Its deep sides keep small items together in a portable compartment.
These black fabric storage cubes fold flat when empty and stand open with their base panels installed. The purchased set uses a 13-inch cube format with pull handles.
