Wood Replacement Drawer for a 9-Inch Vanity Cabinet Opening

This Rev-A-Shelf 4VDO Series vanity drawer replaces or upgrades a single drawer in a face-frame bathroom vanity, bringing soft-close full-extension slides to a shallow cabinet space.

Key Features

• Soft-close full-extension slides pull the drawer all the way out and ease it shut without slamming.
• 9-inch width fits a minimum cabinet opening of 9 inches wide, suited to narrower vanity runs.
• Shallow 4-5/16-inch height works in low-clearance vanity cavities where a standard-height drawer will not fit.
• Wood construction gives a finished interior look consistent with cabinetry, not a wire or metal insert.
• Door-mount compatible so the drawer front can be fastened to the cabinet door for a clean, integrated appearance.
• Face-frame cabinet fit with a minimum opening depth of 18-3/4 inches and minimum opening height of 4-1/2 inches.

Where This Drawer Fits the Job

Bathroom vanity cabinets often have exactly one awkward drawer cavity: too shallow for standard drawer hardware, too wide to leave empty, and too visible to ignore. This 4VDO drawer is sized for that space. At 4-5/16 inches tall and 18-11/16 inches deep, it fills the low-clearance drawer openings common in single-sink vanities, especially in the narrow cabinet runs flanking a sink base. It rolls to full extension so the back of the drawer is reachable, which matters in a bathroom where small items like hair ties, medication, and accessories tend to migrate toward the rear.

Cabinet shops building custom vanity banks and remodelers replacing worn or missing drawers in existing face-frame cabinetry both reach for this drawer. The soft-close mechanism from Blum handles the closing motion, so the drawer does not need to be pushed firmly shut to stay closed, a common complaint with original-equipment vanity hardware.

Construction and Motion

The drawer box is wood, which gives it a warmer, more finished look than metal or wire alternatives and makes it compatible with a door-mounted false front. The Blum soft-close slides are built into the unit, so there is no separate slide to source, mount, or align. Full extension means the drawer box clears the cabinet face when open, putting the full depth of the cavity within reach rather than hiding the last few inches behind the face frame.

Who Should Specify This Size

This drawer suits designers and cabinet shops specifying a narrow vanity run where the opening width is at or near 9 inches, and the available height is tight. It is also the right replacement for a homeowner whose existing shallow vanity drawer has failed and who wants a soft-close upgrade rather than a like-for-like swap. Confirm the cabinet opening dimensions against the minimums before ordering: 9 inches wide, 4-1/2 inches tall, and 18-3/4 inches deep. This drawer is for face-frame vanity cabinets; frameless cabinet applications require a different configuration.
