LEGRABOX, MERIVOBOX, or TANDEMBOX: Which Drawer System Fits the Job?

All three are Blum metal drawer systems, and all three run on full-extension soft-close runners. The differences come down to look, load, and how your shop likes to build. Here's how they compare, and we stock all three.

Everything You Need, All in One Place

From plywood and fasteners to finishing supplies and shipping materials, we stock a full range of cabinetry essentials. One supplier, one delivery – less time sourcing, more time building.

Trusted by the Trade for 50+ Years

With decades of experience, we understand what it takes to keep shops running smoothly, and we back that up with expert support and consistent supply.

Built for Cabinetry Pros

We don't just carry product, we know how it's used. Our team speaks your language, with deep knowledge across cabinetry, millwork, and finishing applications.

Looking for Something Else?

If you didn't find exactly what you're after, drop us a quick note and we'll help you track it down.

With thousands of materials, hardware lines, and custom-order options in stock, not everything fits neatly on a single category page. If you're looking for a specific item – like a certain drawer slide, hinge system, or finish option – just let us know.

Our team works closely with cabinetry professionals every day, and we're happy to help you track down the right solution fast. Whether it's in stock, special order, or part of a bundled system, we'll make sure you get what you need, without the runaround.

Pick Once, Build Consistently

The Right System for the Work You Do

Most shops settle on one or two drawer systems and build their workflow around them. Choosing based on the jobs you actually take on, whether that's premium kitchens, production casework, or a mix, keeps your parts bin simple and your installs predictable.

LEGRABOX

The Premium, Minimal Option

The slimmest, straightest sides of the three, in five finishes including brushed stainless and carbon black. Runners are rated 88 lb and 155 lb. It's the best fit when the drawer interior is part of the design.

MERIVOBOX

One System, Many Configurations

Blum's modular box system, with sides from N (68.5mm) to E (192mm), gallery rails, and Boxcap design elements. Runners are rated 88 lb and 154 lb. It suits shops that want flexibility without stocking a separate system for every drawer type.

TANDEMBOX

The Proven Workhorse

A long-standing Blum system with Antaro profiles, gallery rails, and organizers, on runners rated 66 lb and 143 lb. It's a good fit for shops already set up for it and for production work where a familiar system keeps installs moving.
