I was taught this rule:
The 1st drawer is 4", for example? Depth:4"
Thats 4"+ the centure divider:3/4",making the 2nd drawer: Depth:4.3/4"
Add 2nd drawer: 4.3/4"+ the same 3/4",making the 3rd drawer: Depth:5.1/2"
Making the 4th: Depth:6.1/4"
And so on.
Allways ending with the deepest drawer at the bottom.
Which in some cases is: Depth:10-11"
Making it ideal for storing,Bulky items like: crockery or blankets.
