Is there slide hardware, perhaps mounted on top and bottom, that would allow this to slide out and then pivot in such a way that you can look at the contents if you were facing the counter, instead of standing sideways to the counter?
Offhand, I have never seen all in one hardware that would allow you to both slide out and swivel the drawer. I have seen this done by combining slides and a seperate swivel assy. You basically build a drawer within a drawer. Here's an example. ruclips.net/video/3e5NKlPT8NE/видео.html
Saw this comment and think I know the solution Make a Steady base for the mechanism for the bookshelf to rest on, with the drawer slides on they left and the right Then add a lazy Susan type joint so you can then rotate the shelf A ball bearing rotating /swivel plate will also work For additional support you could add another drawer mechanism on top, with and additions swivel joint
@@b29ak2007 Sounds like it should work. You may need to adjust the depth of the drawer so that when it swivels, the back end of the drawer won't make contact with the cabinet. If you try it, let me know how it works out. Thanks for your input.
I would like to try your slide design but I'm wondering. How hard is it to insert the drawer into two vertical slides on the right side and one horizontal slide on the bottom?
The main thing to a successful vertical is precision measuring for the lay out of the slides. Next, when you insert the drawer, start with the bottom. Leave the side slides recessed in the cabinet. When you have the bottom started, then start the other two. It's actually pretty simple.
My drawer was designed to hold three levels of dvd holders. If I had put a slide on the open side of the drawer I would have had to add 2" of height to both the drawer and the cabinet. To answer your question, the slide layout can be different depending on the design and purpose of the drawer so long as stability is not an issue. For instance, I used the third slide under the drawer because it was too wobbly without it. You could use one on the top left and two on the right top & bottom, or vice versa. You could even use two on each side. Hope this answers your question.
I've seen it done both ways. The configuration I used is mainly because the drawer contents are heavy and the side mounted slides will support more weight than horizontal mounts, and I tend to overkill everything I do. Do you ever have a problem with the top & btm. slides binding or sagging under heavier loads?
@@deerparkhomeshop2471 Regular drawer slides are designed for heavy loads. This kind of drawer is no different from a regular regarding the mount of the slides. I just put the slides right and left, exactly at the half height of the drawer, no matter its height. And always I remove the hinges and turn the door into the drawer's face.
@@1zanglang The vertical spice drawers in my kitchen are made with slides centered on each side, but they also have a centered slide on the bottom underside of the drawer. Are you using the third slide on top or bottom of the drawer? I put two slides on on the back side of the drawer because I didn't have enough drawer height to install a mounting surface on the open side of the drawer. If I did that my DVD holders wouldn't fit..

@@deerparkhomeshop2471 Thanks for outlining the procedure you use. Sounds simple enough to do. Keep up the good work!
Thanks, let me know if you have any more questions.@@RAPTOR8ASDF
Hi 🖐️
Why not the third slide 'on' the drawer..?? 🤔
My drawer was designed to hold three levels of dvd holders. If I had put a slide on the open side of the drawer I would have had to add 2" of height to both the drawer and the cabinet.

@@deerparkhomeshop2471 Thank You 👍
@@noeliafernanda1061 Anytime! Thank for reaching out to me.
I would never put the slides on the sides. I always put one slide at the top and one slide at the bottom.

This is horizontal...
If you goggle "vertical drawer, they will show you dozens of drawers built in this same style.
