AvanTech YOU 400mm Double Walled Pot/Pan Drawer System 251mm High Anthracite Hettich 9 305 873

Anthracite Metal Drawer System Built for Heavy Kitchen Storage

The AvanTech YOU double-walled drawer system from Hettich is a complete pot and pan drawer platform in Anthracite, sized at 251mm tall and 400mm in nominal length. It is engineered for deep kitchen storage where drawer weight and cooking gear demand a rigid steel structure and a refined, dark interior finish.

Key Features

• Double-walled steel sides deliver a clean, fastener-free inner face that suits exposed interior views.
• 251mm side height provides the deep profile suited to stacking cookware, lids, and large kitchen items.
• 400mm nominal length fits standard base cabinet depths and matches the system's runner and component sets at that length.
• Anthracite finish pairs with dark cabinetry, charcoal interiors, and contemporary kitchen palettes without requiring a painted drawer box.
• AvanTech YOU platform integrates sides, runners, and front fixings as one engineered set, with front adjustment built in.
• Steel construction throughout handles the load demands of heavy cast iron, Dutch ovens, and full cookware sets.

Where This System Fits the Job

A 251mm side height places this in the deep-drawer tier — the right choice for a lower base cabinet dedicated to pots, pans, lids, and large serving pieces that stack rather than lay flat. The 400mm nominal length suits shallower base cabinets where a 500mm or 550mm system would run too deep. Kitchens with a 15-inch or 16-inch cabinet depth, or a pull-out within an island end, are typical applications. The Anthracite finish earns its place where interior visibility matters: open-front designs, handle-less kitchens with wide fronts that gap slightly on close, and dark-toned cabinet interiors where a white or silver drawer box would read as an inconsistency.

Steel Construction and Anthracite Finish

The drawer sides are formed steel in a double-walled profile — the same construction that separates engineered drawer systems from standard slide-plus-wood-box builds. The double wall conceals fasteners, presents a uniform inner surface, and resists the racking that a heavy, unevenly loaded pot drawer puts on lighter side materials. Anthracite is a near-matte dark gray finish that reads as a deliberate design choice rather than a neutral default. It holds up to the interior handling a pot drawer sees daily without the marking concerns of a lighter finish in the same space.

Who Orders This System

Cabinet shops building contemporary kitchens with dark interior palettes reach for this system when the client wants the drawer box itself to contribute to the interior aesthetic rather than disappear behind an opaque front. Kitchen designers specifying handle-less or push-to-open layouts in Anthracite or graphite tones use it to maintain finish continuity through the full interior depth. Renovation contractors replacing worn drawer boxes in existing Hettich AvanTech YOU installations order it to match the system already in the cabinet. The 400mm length specifically suits anyone working in a compact kitchen footprint where cabinet depth is limited but storage volume still needs to be maximized by going tall with the drawer side rather than long with the box.

The Right Box for a Dark Kitchen's Hardest-Working Drawer

A pot drawer carries more weight and sees more daily use than almost any other drawer in the kitchen. The AvanTech YOU system in Anthracite at 251mm tall gives that drawer the steel structure to handle the load and the finish to hold its own in a dark, design-forward interior.
