Are you asking about the hardware? The slides? Or are you asking about the whole thing (box, hardware, face, etc)? You can make your own drawers and the slides shouldn't be more than $10 each. I had a buddy use drawerslides.com for his last project. I've never gone to see what was out there though.One other question. Are drawer kits really as expensive as I've found? Most stores have them at $30-40 a pop. A dozen drawers would be kinda hefty.

gotcha....you might want to consider making your own drawers and attaching hardware. But you can get nicer, hardwood drawers made for the $30 - $35 range.Keep in mind, I have only begun to do research for this project, but this is what I was talking about.

I'm building a wall unit in my bedroom. Cabinets and drawers.

Blum hardware for hinges and slides is a good option. http://woodworking.rockler.com/nav/brand/blum/0?sli_sid=v9100&gclid=CIaw8Lejq7sCFYVZ7AodsV0AaA
If you really just want to buy pre-built drawers, Ikea kitchen drawers are nice and made by Blum. They could be used in a lot of applications. You'd just need to build a front to match the rest.
The other thing I should have talked about was tools. You have all the needed stuff right? Like the full Festool line and the full Jet line. slightly joking there. The cost of the tools needed to get to a competitive level keeps most from attempting it. Yeah, I could get by cutting on my Bosch contractor table saw, but the difference is noticeable with higher end equipment.BigJohn said:Shop drawing to scale of what I'm going to do.
Ran through the numbers. Looks like I'm right around $850 to do this myself.
Looks like a bunch of boxes (which is a good thing). You shouldn't have much of a problem. Seems like a good project to learn on.BigJohn said:Shop drawing to scale of what I'm going to do.

Exactly what I was going for. Looking at 5/8" sanded plywood for the sides, 1/4" for the backs. Havent decided what I'm going to face it with yet. I'll make my own doors and drawer fronts. Keep it extremely simple.Looks like a bunch of boxes (which is a good thing). You shouldn't have much of a problem.
