Choosing Your Drawer Hardware: Blum LEGRABOX vs TANDEMBOX Antaro
A breakdown of Blum's flagship runner systems: load ratings, slim metallic profiles, soft-close action, and full extension technology.
At Top Line Furniture Flatpacks Online, we refuse to supply low-grade, friction-wheel drawer slides that stick or rattle under load. All our drawer units are pre-bored for genuine Austrian-engineered Blum runner systems.
When ordering through our 3D planner, you will encounter two primary options: TANDEMBOX Antaro and LEGRABOX. Here is how to decide which is right for your project.
