Abstract
A cabinet system modified to accommodate a fully retractable drawer within a drawer comprises a housing having a plurality of conjoined panels to define a first interior cavity and a first set of drawers slidably attached to tracks on the interior surfaces of opposing panels. Each drawer comprises a set of conjoined panels to define a second interior cavity panel, left panel, front panel, rear panel and bottom panel, wherein each panel has an interior surface and an exterior surface. Attached to the interior surfaces of each drawer's opposing panels is a track for slidably mounting a second drawer. When a first drawer is fully extended away from the first interior cavity, the second drawer can remain fully retracted within the first drawer or be fully extended into the first interior cavity.

A combination drawer assembly, comprising:
- a cabinet having an interior with a cabinet track attached to a cabinet sidewall;
- a main drawer comprising a main front panel, a main rear panel, opposing pair of main side panels, and a main bottom panel, said main drawer defining a main interior cavity;
- a secondary drawer comprising a secondary front panel, a secondary rear panel, opposing pair of secondary side panels, and a secondary bottom panel, said secondary drawer defines a secondary interior cavity;
- a main drawer exterior track connected to said main side panels and slidably coupling said main drawer to said cabinet track;
- a main drawer interior track connected to said main side panels;
- a secondary drawer track connected to said secondary side panels for slidably coupling said secondary drawer to said main drawer interior track;
- wherein said main drawer extends from and retracts into said interior of said cabinet by traverse motion along said cabinet track;
- wherein said secondary drawer extends from and retracts into said interior of said cabinet independent of said main drawer by traverse motion along said main drawer interior track when said main drawer is fully extended;
- and,
- wherein said secondary drawer is positioned above said main drawer interior cavity and is suitably dimensioned to align with and fully cover said main interior cavity when said secondary drawer is fully extended and said secondary front panel abuts said main front panel.
