Good morning everyone,
We have ordered a kitchen for our new build, but the delivery is not scheduled until late 2023. Until then, we still have many options to adjust. One of these I am now considering changing, but I wanted to gather some experiences here first. It’s about the drawers—specifically the drawer side panels. In the Schüller kitchen we chose, the drawer sides are made of glass. However, I’m concerned that after some time they might no longer look good and cleaning them will always require emptying the drawers. The biggest advantage and a convincing argument was the clear visibility inside the drawers, which sit slightly higher. But I fear that over time, cleaning needs will diminish this benefit.
Has anyone had experience with this and would like to share?
If necessary, we might still upgrade to fully enclosed drawers.

For drawers, not only the side panels should be made of glass but also the back panel, because that is where most of it disappears, and it’s difficult to access.What does that mean exactly? (for someone who doesn’t know what diffuses through the back of a drawer 😀 )

(for someone who doesn’t know what diffuses through the back of a drawer 😀) The top layer of cloths, sometimes sponges, basically anything that’s just placed on top when the drawer is already full.
You’ll quickly notice if the gap at the back, near the top, is almost 10cm (4 inches) or only 2cm (0.8 inches).
If you’re lucky, it’s in the drawer below; if not, you’ll have to remove all of them 😉

I don’t see this as a problem but as potential for improvement. Then go ahead and improve it. I mean exactly what I say. It’s a tip for your "optimization potential." Just do it!
I tend to find it quite amusing when topics are discussed that have already been evaluated individually. Besides, these are not particularly costly considerations that merit a lengthy discussion.
So my advice: take action and keep looking for further optimization opportunities 😉

With some luck, the items are in the drawer below, but if not, you’ll have to take everything out 😉 Oh, so some people have to figure out (extra work to get to the parts again) when a drawer is full. A glass back doesn’t really help with that.
Try using a glass bottom for the drawers. 😀
