You could just make up trolleys on fixed wheels so the entire unit pulls out from underneath the stairs ,a lot easier for accessing.
Take it you mean drawers retro-fitted into a set of stairs?
Problem with runners is that the runner needs to be secured near the rear of the runner, not easy on a stair
As Foxhole above, wheels work?
The "clean look" will depend on the finish around the riser and the removal of same to fit the door front.

Probably.
And I assumed that foxhole meant something with fronts like he showed (although those are still drawers - he was just showing how the fronts would look) - in fact I was about to reply to
Depending on the floor surface, and how level it is, "trolleys" would be easier. By trolley I mean a structure on wheels with the front panel almost flush with the floor. The structure could be made of wood or one of those square tube systems.

pointing out that what you would see would be panels.

I was planning to do something like this with a rolling tool cabinet, with a panel on the end so it looks just like a cupboard door.

AFA my initial thoughts go, the floor is crucial. A smooth level wooden one will allow a trundly thing on wheels with a front a mere few mm above the floor. Guides for the wheels under the stairs would ensure that the fronts butt up neatly and remain true. That or framing for them to settle into.
Uneven floor, or carpeting, or wood with a rug on, then drawers on runners as per #6 would probably be more successful.
What attracts me to trundlythings is the ability to drag them completely out to clean, and to deal with the fact that sooner or later something is going to fall off and need retrieving - Sods Law says so.

Must be a secret .
Sorry gents missed the notifications.
Yes this is exactly what I’m after. I’m found a good company online who have supplied heavy duty 80kg max weight runners. I’ll post some pics once it’s done.
