Good thinking but extend it a bit further to trays rather than drawers. Bt
"tray" I mean a 3/4" bottom rimmed all around with verticals that project
only an inch or two above the bottom. They are good for dishes too.


Thanks a bunch! The bottom info I really needed, at that size then
should the frame be 1/2" Minimum? OR?

Yes, I meant trays for the most part. Where the pans or bowls are
light weight I was thinking higher sides, like 4" up from the bottom,
or 4 " overall, to help keep them in.


I'd stop and consider the actual implements you have to store and
develop storage more specifically tailored around them, albeit not _too_
specific to a given exact pan so that retain general use. I've done the
similar by using 1/2" side stock and providing internal dividers with a
few optional positions routed into the sides so they can be moved to suit...
