drawer kits

I'm building a work bench for general purpose work around the house. I'd
like to add a couple of wooden drawers (prefer wood but steel is a fall
back if cant get wood drawers) to it but I don't have the expertise to make
them myself (ie dovetails etc).

....

I'd suggest here's a perfect opportunity to develop some
expertise--it's "just" a workbench so other than being structurally
sound, if there's some inexpertise showing, it's not like a dining room
hutch or something.

As others noted, there are other ways besides dovetails to make a solid
joint (a box joint on the tablesaw comes to mind as one pretty simple
but very strong option). Even practice on making a simple nailed box
drawer or two would be valuable for a complete novice...

Just imo, ymmv, $0.02, etc., etc., ... :)
