I thought you had a drawer system already. What is your plan for it?
I do. Was two drawers side by side, and I removed one and replaced with a fridge slide when on a trip.
Problem is I then had to find a place for all the stuff in the drawer I took out. Never liked doing that.
So im reworking it and doing two drawers stacked on the right, and a drawer/fridge slide combo on the left. Hopefully it will turn out ok.

Fireman you need to whip up a few sets of drawers for 100.

Andy you are killing yourself with that 3/4 inch stuff. Get some 1/2 baltic birch

Ok fireman time to put your mind and one good knee to work.
Old system was 3/4 and I'm reusing a lot of it so 3/4 it is...
Sure do wish I knew someone with a 100 that had a cabinet shop that could crank out some drawer system awesomeness...
Where is the best place to source this material? Does Lowes carry it? Is it lighter than pine board and 1/2 in plywood?
My lowe's carries a thickness between 1/2 and 3/4 supposedly, but the baltic birch is either never in stock or they just don't carry it anymore...
Honestly i think the bones of the system need to be thicker than 1/2". Bottom, top, vertical supports, etc. Everything else could be 1/2" though. Maybe that's over engineering it a tad, but the current system lasted 5 years without a single issue. And even using the 3/4" stuff it weighs less than the 3rd row seats that came out.

If you dado'd, glued & tacked all the joints, 1/2" would be plenty strong.
