DIY Pull Out Storage Drawers Under Stairs - Extra Storage For Small Spaces.

[@NeilLovegrovemaker]

Just a note for anyone about to comment on whether the child can breath in the under stairs bedroom.. this was a joke, its not really her bedroom, I do not really store my children in drawers under the stairs!

[@MM-pt9zk]

Love how you cover this especially as some idiot will actually believe that’s her bedroom 😂

[@NeilLovegrovemaker]

For a short period of time KZbin was pushing this video to a "concerned parent" demographic... it was a full time job reassuring commenters that it wasn't real 😂

[@ianbrown1474]

obviously not - keeping the children in the fridge will ensure they don’t get hot and stay fresher for longer - LOL

[@pallyally2200]

Great tip for the runners, so many people would've struggled trying to attach the runners to the drawers. I've shared this video 4 times on various places. Great hiding place for your daughter, I bet it freaks out the grandparents.

[@NeilLovegrovemaker]

Thanks for sharing! The Grandparents know what she's like. She actually wouldn't get out after filming. We ended up playing bedrooms for half an hour!

Thank you very much! I've always got a project on the go.. it's just a time consuming process to make the 'thing' and then a video about it. Stay tuned though (subscribe and bell and all that) I've got pages of ideas for videos, they're just a little slow to make at the moment, I'm getting quicker at it though 👍

i actually made these cupboards with the help of this video. Am going to fit the latches today. Great job and thanks for your ideas.

[@paulmaas8743]

Do you really need the latches? Do the draws not stay closed even with push to open runners?

[@NeilLovegrovemaker]

These ones aren't push to open runners unfortunately so the latch is needed to push the drawer open enough to get hold of it

Watched a ton of these videos lately but this is by far the best, as someone else mentioned, great camera work as well. Juat need to convince the mrs to let me buy a table saw now :)

[@NeilLovegrovemaker]

Thank you! Great feedback like this makes it worthwhile putting the effort in to document the process. I bought my table saw for this project and have used it a lot since. Its a great tool to have. I used the excuse that the table saw plus materials is still cheaper than getting someone in to do it!

More child storage ideas needed. A series? Seriously, tidy job, very well explained. Thank you.

[@nitchster]

Brilliant work and video Neil! I've been planning a similar project for a year now and seemingly carpenters are afraid/unwilling to do this so I have no excuses for not doing it on my own. Your video definitely made me much more confident that my skills are sufficient, and I'll get to doing it over the coming month or two. Just a few questions (I hope that's OK): 1. How sturdy did the rails feel? I'm doing my pull outs in a loft and they're therefor taller. While they'll stay under 80kg including the content, I was wondering if I should invest in a higher load rating (160kg or 250kg) just to be on the safe side. 2. Can you please post a link to the mechanical latch you used? Can't find it anywhere. Many thanks Neil! I've subscribed and am looking forward to more videos.

[@NeilLovegrovemaker]

Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad you've found it useful! The runners are pretty sturdy but It's difficult today if you'd need a heavier duty. You could always add an additional runner at the top of the drawer to support if it was not very stable. The latch came from ebay. I don't post a link as they die as soon as the auction ends, but have a search for 'loft hatch latch' and you'll find plenty. Good luck with it. Let me know how it goes 👍 Ps next project should be posted soon!

[@nitchster]

@@NeilLovegrovemaker Thanks a million. I'll just go with the safer option duty wise. Found the latch easily with your guidance :)

[@Interknetz]

I'll probably do this for my parents at some point (we have a cat, litter tray is under the stairs so......) It's definitely interesting to see a bit more in depth of how to DIY this like what parts you used rather than other videos I've seen that skip stuff. Ours wouldn't be a shoe rack though, it'd more than likely be for storing things - under stairs space is seldom used cause nobody wants to bend down to the bottom!
