My wife got very excited about this, now I have to do it

You are leaving out much info on how this is done. This is much more complicated than you're leading people to believe. I am a 29 year veteran in the high end, custom woodworking business, and have been self-employed in this business for 23 years.

Очень просто и то, что искала, точно такая история с лестницей.! Идея супер! ❤

I've been planning shelves with doors under the stairs, but I think the drawer idea works better because you can then access the full depth of the space. This construction is simple, and works well. Thanks.
My space is the full height of a 16-stair flight, so I'll probably divide it up into smaller sections.

Ah, you make it look so easy. Thanks for all of the good little tips!

[jahzah]

Love this idea! I just need to find someone to do this for me

[abishsings]

Wow, it looks great and so useful. You have skills and made it look so easy. Wish you lived close by and would do the work for me.

[craigmcfly]

I wish I had the guts to tackle that myself! It looks amazing!

[tracyjones]

What did you do with the space under the mid-landing? Looks like a great place for more storage.

[pigsfromagun]

[jeffmcmillan]

Can you describe which push latches you used and where to get them. It's not included in your list of materials needed in the link you have. Thanks, and great video.

I decided to use half inch solid platinum for the sides and backs

[tomaszczerniachowicz]

What size screws did you use to hold the heavy duty runners?

[scottborder]

If the slides didn’t come apart how did he get screws into the side of the drawer closest to the wall?

[rachelsmith]

Where did you purchase the drawer slides and self openers ?

[naturallycurlymama]

I hope I can get mine to look this nice

[mrsgonzalves]

Don’t the stairs creek without the studs?
