Humphrey Munson Storage Solution | Swan Neck Drawers

Swan neck drawers are an integral part of many of our kitchen projects where client want to maximise every last drop of easy-access storage in their kitchen. Hidden behind what looks like a regular double cupboard door, the swan neck drawers slide out to reveal a tidy way to store a multitude of different items. Depending on the area of the kitchen and what you like to cook most swan neck drawers are ideal to be used as baking storage, pots and pans, tableware, even food.

Made using traditional joinery techniques, the swan neck drawer has dovetail joints which not only look aesthetically pleasing but ensure strength and longevity for the drawer itself. On the same note, the drawers sit on the best soft-close drawer runners in the world which are designed to last forever and won’t slam when you slide them back into the cupboard.
