Aloha Dale, Wow! This is great! I have a couple of drawers that I spent ages looking for trays that I could set on the top edge of my drawer that I could slide back about seven inches to expose part of the drawer underneath, or I could lift the tray out completely to find things in the back. I never thought to look for something more precisely for this purpose. Thanks a bunch. Betsy At 05:23 PM 1/11/2009, you wrote:
