Dave - have looked at the link, it's excellent. Thank you so much!

I want a drawer that I can attach to the underside of a built in dressing table top. It would be used for make-up, so would not need to be really 'heavy duty'. I have bought the runners and brackets to fit the drawer, but I don't have a drawer yet! Can anyone advise on the materials and best...
