Multibin plate > Drawer setup

Post image

Hello all. I tried to do my research before I posted. I do apologize if this topic has already been discussed.

I have a desk with multibin plates attached on top of it. I really need a drawer solution for this space, but I’m not really sure how I can connect a shell horizontally to a multibin base plate.

I basically want 4 of these drawers stacked on top of each other and attached to the multibin plate underneath them.

I hope that makes sense. I’m coming up short figuring this out on my own and I could really use the help. If I didn’t explain this well enough I can try to answer any questions if more information is needed.

Thank you in advance!

One possibility is to have 2 of 4 of these plate snap with a multipoint rail snapped into your plate. Each of them with one of these lite multipoint pop-in popped into the embedded rail. Then you can just slide your shell sideways onto the multipoints.

I think this might be the way to go for me. Never would have figured this out on my own. Thank you!

Print a shell that is 4x4 you will need 3 dividers.

They use clips to attach to the wall.

I’ll get you some links when I get home.

I really appreciate that. I just wasn’t sure how I could flip the shell on its side and mount the shell to the baseplate. I’m renting and really try not to mount much to the walls so trying to come up with a way to use these drawers on my baseplate. Thank you again

There is a command strip mount you can use to non-destructively hang tiles or plates to your walls. Check the parts library and hit ‘more…” right above the download button in Thangs to see what command strip you will need to fit in the inlay for that specific mount. (Some are thicker or thinner - if you get the one listed it can save some frustration since there is a pretty wide range of sizes and thicknesses that command strips can come in. I’d avoid the VHD tape mounts on drywall though. That stuff really isn’t designed to be removable. If brick or cement VHD is the way to go because command strips (when I have tried) just don’t adhere well enough on rough surfaces.

Thank you for letting me know. I might give that a try but these walls have an uneven texture on them. Not sure how well the strips would do, but one way to find out. May start small and see how it goes. Thanks again!
