A drawer assembly comprising:

• a frame having one or more drawer-receiving spaces therein which are positioned between lateral sides of the frame;
• and
• one or more drawers in which each drawer is received in a respective one or more of the drawer-receiving spaces, each drawer including:
• a pair of guide-receiving tracks in which each guide-receiving track is positioned on a respective lateral side of the drawer;
• and
• a pair of securable guides with each securable guide being received in a respective guide-receiving track, each securable guide including one or more bearing surfaces in engagement with the respective guide-receiving track to permit linear sliding translation of the drawer relative to the securable guide, wherein each securable guide further includes a securing element having an installed position in which the securing element engages the lateral sides of the frame to attach and fix the securable guide in a stationary position relative to the frame in which the drawer is moveable between a fully opened position and fully closed position relative to the frame while the securable guide remains fixed in the stationary position and wherein the securing element is movable away from the installed position to allow the securable guide to be removed from the stationary position so the drawer is moveable beyond the fully opened position for removal of the respective drawer from the frame.
