18-Inch LEGRABOX M Height Drawer System in Orion Gray Matte for Modern Cabinetry

This is a complete Blum LEGRABOX drawer system in the M height profile, finished in Orion Gray Matte, designed for production kitchen and bath cabinetry where the drawer interior finish is part of the design. It ships as one engineered unit — steel side profiles, integrated BLUMOTION runners, and front fixings — at an 18-inch nominal length for 450mm cabinet depth applications.

Key Features

• Orion Gray Matte finish coordinates with dark-toned LEGRABOX interiors and AMBIA-LINE organization accessories for a unified look.
• M height profile at 90.5mm (3-9/16 inches) suits standard kitchen and bath drawer applications where a mid-profile side is the right call.
• Full-extension travel brings the entire drawer out to the cabinet face so contents at the back are fully accessible.
• Integrated BLUMOTION soft-close delivers damped, silent closing built into the runner — no separate damper to add or adjust.
• 125 lb weight capacity handles heavy drawer loads including pots, tools, and stacked cookware.
• Steel construction provides a rigid, double-walled side profile that conceals fasteners and presents a clean face inside and out.

Where This Drawer System Fits

The M height profile is the workhorse of the LEGRABOX line. At 90.5mm tall, it suits the primary drawer bank in a kitchen — the drawer stack beside or beneath the cooktop where pots, utensils, or packaged goods live. It also handles bath vanity drawers and bedroom or closet pull-outs where a clean interior wall matters as much as function. The 18-inch nominal length targets standard frameless base cabinets built at approximately 21-inch depth, leaving the required clearance behind the drawer for the runner's closing mechanism. Cabinet shops running high-volume frameless production will find this length covers most standard base openings in a single stock item.

Finish and Construction

Orion Gray Matte is the darker of Blum's two primary LEGRABOX finish options, and it is a deliberate design choice as much as a hardware selection. The finish runs consistently across the double-walled steel side profiles, so the drawer interior reads as a single color field rather than a mix of materials. AMBIA-LINE organization accessories — frames, cross dividers, cutlery inserts, knife holders, and spice trays — are offered in matching Orion Gray Matte to carry that continuity into the organized interior. Front fixings for this system attach to the side profiles and carry the front adjustment built into the LEGRABOX platform; the buyer supplies the drawer front, bottom panel, and back panel cut to the system's published dimensions.

Who Reaches for This System

Cabinet shops and production millwork operations running frameless construction are the primary buyers. The LEGRABOX platform is engineered for the 32mm grid, so side profiles install directly on the cabinet floor or dado without rear brackets — the straightforward mounting that makes high-volume work efficient. Designers specifying dark-toned or integrated kitchen interiors choose Orion Gray over Silk White when the color story calls for it: the gray reads neutral against both light and dark cabinet finishes and does not show every scuff the way a white interior can in a working kitchen. Homeowners completing a serious renovation who want a finish-level drawer system rather than an economy slide-and-box solution will also find the M height and 18-inch length covers most standard residential base cabinets.

A Drawer System That Holds Its Look Over Time

Orion Gray Matte brings a finished, interior-design sensibility to a platform built for daily production loads. The 125 lb capacity and BLUMOTION damping handle the weight and the use cycle; the finish handles the design brief. Both hold up in the same drawer.
