Hettich AvanTech YOU Drawer System for Deep Kitchen Storage, Anthracite

The AvanTech YOU Double Walled Pot/Pan Drawer System is a complete steel drawer platform from Hettich, designed for deep kitchen pull-outs where pots, pans, and heavy cookware live. This 550mm nominal length set ships in Anthracite — a dark, matte finish that reads as intentional contrast in both painted and wood-front kitchens.

Key Features

• Double-walled steel sides present a smooth, fastener-free inner face that looks factory-fitted from inside the drawer.
• 187mm side height gives the deep profile suited for stacked pots, dutch ovens, and heavy cookware without the side walls disappearing behind the contents.
• 550mm nominal length suits standard kitchen cabinet depths in both face-frame and frameless construction.
• Anthracite finish delivers a dark, low-sheen tone that coordinates with matte black hardware and dark interior cabinetry.
• AvanTech YOU platform means front fixings, rear brackets, and soft-close runners are all engineered together — components from outside the platform do not interchange.
• Complete drawer set — sides, runners, and platform hardware included so the drawer goes together as one coordinated system.

Where This Drawer System Fits the Job

The 187mm side height is the detail that separates a pot drawer from a standard utensil or flatware pull-out. At nearly 7-3/8 inches tall, the sides stay visible and retain contents even when a cast iron skillet or stockpot fills the base. The 550mm nominal length is the right call for base cabinets built to standard 21- to 22-inch interior depths — the platform's cutting formulas set the exact drawer box dimensions, so the buyer follows the published spec for bottom size and back position rather than guessing. This set suits face-frame and frameless cabinet construction; confirm the rear mounting approach for face-frame installs, as rear brackets are platform-specific and sold separately where required.

Finish and Construction

Anthracite is a dark charcoal with a matte quality — not a glossy black, and not Silver or White. In a kitchen with dark lowers or a two-tone scheme, the Anthracite interior reads as a deliberate design choice rather than a neutral background. The double-walled steel construction hides every fastener behind the inner wall, so the drawer interior looks the same whether the front is open or pulled out for inspection. Steel throughout means the sides carry weight without flexing — useful in a pot drawer where a full Sunday-sauce pot is a realistic load. Material is steel per the product attributes; no coating or cleanability claims beyond the Anthracite finish are confirmed in the source data.

Who Reaches for the Anthracite Set

Cabinet shops specifying a dark-finish kitchen run the Anthracite set where the interior color should align with the aesthetic rather than disappear behind it. Designers working with matte black pulls, dark wood fronts, or charcoal painted uppers use Anthracite to carry the palette into the drawer box. Contractors sourcing a complete replacement drawer for an existing AvanTech YOU installation match the finish by name — Anthracite here is not interchangeable with Silver or White within the platform. Homeowners retrofitting a base cabinet into a cookware pull-out get a fully coordinated package without sourcing sides, runners, and fixings separately.

A Cookware Drawer That Looks the Part

The Anthracite AvanTech YOU set gives a deep pot drawer a dark, solid interior that holds up to daily cookware loads and holds its finish over time — a complete platform package in a finish that earns its place in the design rather than hiding behind the front.
