We are making our utility room a bit smaller to accommodate a shower

I've seen a couple of adverts for and DIY descriptions of plinth or
kick-panel drawers. On looking at the detail these seem to be simply
normal ball-bearing runner drawers put into the space under a normal
cabinet. Am I missing anything or is this what they are? The
cabinets I'm thinking of adding these to have sides right down to the
floor, not feet, so it is fairly straightforward I would guess.

However I'm not sure that I fancy reaching in far enough to place the
rear screws for the runners, especially as these need to be pretty
accurate (I've fitted quite a few normal height ones in home built
cabinets). So has anyone seen 'under cabinet' drawers which are just
a box on wheels? We're only aiming to store infrequently used stuff
in them so the ease of use of ball-bearing runner drawers isn't really
necessary. Are there 'under bed' drawers like this?

We use wicker baskets, no wheels, ideal for vegetables, on our tiled
floor. The plinth was discarded and the exposed raw chipboard edges
covered with a piece of wooden moulding. Simple, works well and looks
IMO better than the plinth.

Thanks, that could work for us though the mice might have a field day
(we have three cats but that's not enough to keep the mice at bay!).
I guess we don't have to store vegetables there, we do similarly have
a tiled floor.
