In a drawer, made of plastics material, for furniture, comprising:
- (i) a base
- (ii) a front wall including an inner wall portion which is smooth and continuous and which is integrally joined to said base
- (iii) support means provided at least adjacent to longitudinal ends of said front wall, said support means being spaced forwardly of said inner wall portion, said support means including an opening therein,
- (iv) a facing abutting an outer face of said support means, and
- (v) locking means projecting from the facing and adapted to extend each through the opening of a respective support means and to abut an inner face of said support means, thereby to secure the facing to the support means,
- the improvement which comprises:
- (a) that part of said support means which includes said opening is a wall extending in the longitudinal direction of the front wall of the drawer,
- (b) said locking means each include a stem portion to extend through said opening, and a head portion to abut the inner face of the support means,
- (c) the width of said opening measured in the longitudinal direction of the front wall is greater than the width of the stem portion measured in that direction, and
- (d) the length of said opening measured in the height dimension of the front wall is greater than the height of the stem portion,
- whereby said facing is adjustable on said front wall both in the longitudinal direction and in the height dimension of the front wall.
