    I've been planning shelves with doors under the stairs, but I think the drawer idea works better because you can then access the full depth of the space. This construction is simple, and works well. Thanks. My space is the full height of a 16-stair flight, so I'll probably divide it up into smaller sections.

    You are leaving out sooooo much info on how this is done. This is much more complicated than you're leading people to believe. I am a 29 year veteran in the high end, custom woodworking business, and have been self-employed in this business for 23 years.

    Anything's possible to DIY don't expect it to be finished in a weekend if you fitting it into family life.. just make sure the significant other understands it'll be messy ... Once I showed the ideas of the space to the Mrs and the potential she was all in ... You'd be surprised what contractor who built your place didn't clean out if that spot ... Mine was a mess but given other things I have run into with our house I wasn't surprised

    Wait! you didn't really show how you built the carcass of what the drawers sit in. Like you skipped a whole lesson. I have those same heavy duty slides, but not sure how to frame out the base. How did you do that?

    It need to screw for drawer first then extend slide to full length and screw it to wall by crouching behind drawer from previous opening.

    It’s not Andy retiring, it’s the Chiefs forcing him out. Patrick’s legacy will grow greater than Andy Reid’s. With that being stated one must go. Patrick doesn’t want the Tom Brady/Bill Belichick conversation. He will do it with a new coach and therefore I won’t look like such a conspiracy theorist with this comment.
