Solid Wood Worx - Drawers

Sourcing a random riser is yet another part to solve and transport it around. Purpose of Buying these drawers is to eliminate diy effort and have a reasonably bespoke & well integrated solution.

Honestly, removing the seat cushions is super easy if you need the extra head room. Might take a second or two longer, but I think it would be well worth the hassle to put the seat cushion in the floor well if you truly need a 3rd or 4th seat. I plan on doing that for my solo trips with my pup. I don’t need much honestly

If you remove the seat cushion, you need a solution to fill that gap. I have seen some people put a stack of containers on the rear footwell, so one can rest their feet on it (head towards the rear doors). But that is yet another messy compromise.

Honestly small board extension with some 550 cord and a clip would solve that and stores up minimally, but maybe I’m cheap

I painted the exposed edges. Acrylic paint and a trimmed down foam brush. Looks so much better for $3 and an hour or so.

how did the final install turn out with the painted trim? Any pics?

Looks good, thanks for the write up. I’ll be sure to separate the 1.5” and 1.25” screws when mine shows up in a couple weeks.

Is there any space in front of the drawers behind the 2nd row seat? I recall seeing some drawer systems that had a small space there but I think that was only on ones that were taller and thus required a shorter length front to back due to the seat back tilt.

Minimal to no space if I remember right

Still waiting on the locking drawer slides. I’ll update once I can finally get it all together

Still waiting on locking slides, so started EVA cutting.

I went with hydro-turf for the top of the platform. Cheaper than sea deck but still high quality and I preferred the color options. 1 full sheet was plenty for the top and bed extensions. In hindsight the Brown is a little too light and will show dirt easily. Cleans up well but should’ve gone with a darker color. I’d suggest using disposable scalpels to cut the foam and replace them before it’s obvious you need to, any time the blade sticks it will mar the cut. Luckily the EVA responds well to sanding with >220 grit to clean up the edges.

Also lined the drawers with Hjdeck EVA from Amazon to prevent things sliding around.

Slides came in after a few weeks of waiting.

I ended up not using the hinges for the bed platform. It was going to be a tolerance stacking issue with the EVA when folded back into the drawers. Ultimately just stuck EVA on the top and bottom. They don’t move around that way, still practically level, and easy enough to store if I’m not using them.

Overall really happy with the outcome. Fits quite well to the contours. Ton of storage and room for dogs, win.
