    Very clever, indeed. Using the PVC instead of constructing conventional box-like drawers saves a lot of time and effort at the expense of a (acceptably small) loss of drawer volume. Transparent drawer fronts are a great idea although the dividers don't seem to need to be. The very minimal flat on the bottom of the drawer would concern me; I would probably want to glue some sort of 'roll preventer" strips to the exterior of the drawers.

    Hi Gang: For half gallon and full gallon drawers I use milk jugs and anti-freeze jugs:

    I make the shelves with slots, but have never needed glue. Fairly quick to make overall. Some shelves I've had over 40 years. Replacement drawers are easy too.
    Good luck and be safe. Carl.
