Custom Drawer Box CTs & CIs

Cutlery trays (CT) are designed to fit inside a custom drawer box and can be removed. Six (6) standard designs are offered; however, custom designs can also be constructed with customer supplied drawings. Trays are constructed as follows;

• 3/8” thick sides and interior members, with eased top edge.
• 1/4” thick matching bottom (Lenga uses birch plywood bottom).
• Tray height is custom made to be 1/8” lower than the top of the drawer box.
• If a standard design is not specified, it will be automatically selected based on the width of the cutlery tray.
• The minimum depth for CT-1 thru CT-6 designs is 15”. If a cutlery tray is less than 15” front to back (depth) it will automatically be converted to a CT-1B thru CT-6B design.
• Custom designs can be constructed if a drawing is supplied.
  • the “Custom” price is applied if there are less than or equal to 6 interior parts.
  • the “Complex Custom” price is applied if there are more than 6 interior parts.
• If a tray is over 4” high or not Lenga an additional charge is applied.
• The standard for dimension ‘A’ is 3”.
• Vertical divider(s), dimension ‘B’, are evenly spaced across the tray.
• The standard for dimension ‘C’ is 5”.

The stacked cutlery tray system consists of a cutlery tray on top (that rolls back) and fixed drawer box dividers mounted to the bottom of the drawer, running front to back. When the drawer box is pulled open, the cutlery tray is on the top; which can then be pushed back to expose the divided spaces below the cutlery tray.

The stacked cutlery tray (Slides) is designed to fit inside a custom drawer box using side mount drawer slides. It is constructed the same as the “Cutlery Tray” with the following exceptions;

• The bottom of the drawer box has fixed dividers that run front to back.
• The height of the cutlery tray is fixed at 1-5/8”.
• The height of the fixed dividers is dependent on the overall height of the drawer box.
• The width of the cutlery is 1-1/16” less than the inside width dimension of the drawer box (the drawer slide would require at least 1/2” of clearance on each side of the cutlery).
• The drawer slides are not included with the cutlery tray, they would have to be purchased through your slide provider.

The stacked cutlery tray (Groove) is designed to fit inside a custom drawer box using a groove to slide in. It is constructed the same as the “Cutlery Tray” with the following exceptions;

• The bottom of the drawer box has fixed dividers that run front to back.
• The height of the cutlery tray is fixed at 1-5/8”.
• The height of the fixed dividers is dependent on the overall height of the drawer box.
• The width of the cutlery is the same as the standard “Cutlery Tray” (there is approximately 1/16” clearance on each side between the cutlery tray and the drawer box).
• Drawer slides are not required for this design.

Cutlery Inserts (CI) are a price point product that are 10 to 15% less than the Cutlery Trays (CT).

Cutlery Inserts are fixed designs that are made to fit inside a custom drawer box (the bottom of the insert is custom cut to fit the drawer box). They can be removed and have some bordering sides. The fixed designs vary based on the width of the drawer box. See the drawings below to determine which designs go into each width range. Inserts from Susquehanna Valley Woodcrafters are constructed as follows;

• Some borders.
• Dividers are 3/8″ thick, with eased top edge.
• Dividers are 2-1/4″ high (fixed height), for a total unit height of 2-1/2″.
• Bottom is 1/4″ thick matching plywood (Lenga & American Whitewood use a birch plywood bottom).
• The minimum depth for CI-1 thru CI-6 designs is 15”. If a cutlery insert is less than 15” front to back (depth) it will automatically be converted to a CI-1B thru CI-6B design.
• Designs are fixed, based on the width of the insert.  Custom designs can be accommodated in the Cutlery Tray program.
• Dimension ‘V’ is Variable.
