Certainly they have drawer runners, the actual wooden bits aren't too complex. Regards Dick Smith Nowhere is there warmth to be found Among those afraid of losing their ground    Report

If not, if you have a router it's not difficult to make your own. You don't say where your friends or you are. France is a biggish country? Edit:- Beat me to it Dick . Axminster do deliver to France. Not sure what they do in that line, but have a look at www.axminster.co.uk they could well help you? John.

I have a router broadly North of Gironde which is in my profile. Would simply prefer to drive up have a look at the kits and buy them    Report

I have arthritis in both my wrists. Pulling no problem, but pushing hurts, so a router does the pushing for me... A mitre box? Is that where a bishop keeps 'is 'at or is it more like the one you keep yer cricket equipment in??? John.

I could pick some drawer sides and runners from Screwfix, (see their website), leaving you with only some ply/mdf to source for the bases. CARE: the drawer sides are in TWO sizes. I can vouch for their ease of fitment. You could either collect, or I could parcel them once in France if you want to pay postage? I can even do Paypal Jeff    Report

I have now sourced four sets of sides and runners from a perfectly good kitchen which was being dumped and as I have a bench saw the the rest is just measuring and cutting.    Report
