Abstract
A snap fit drawer slide system allows sliding shelves, trays, and drawers to be easily installed inside a cabinet with existing pre-drilled shelf support pin holes. The device can also be easily removed after installation, and the user can easily adjust each sliding shelve to a desired height. For cabinets without shelf support pin holes, the system provides optional shelf standards with support pin holes. Pre-scored lines allow each shelf standard to be easily snapped to a desired length.
