We put small sharp knives (like steak knives) in that top drawer. It's nice for that b/c it is too small for them to jump around much.

Dave:
What do you mean "...remove three drawers..."? There are only two drawers
as far as I'm concerned. That thing at the top you can't even keep a cork
screw in. Has anyone changed the drawer slides there to full suspension so
the stupid thing opens more than an inch or so?

Allen:
The way you state, "I would have to remove the entire drawer assembly to
get to the drain valve." makes it sound like a tough job. I have found
that it takes no more than a couple minutes to remove the three drawers,
remove six screws an lift it out. It probably only weighs around 5 to 10
pounds. No Problem.
