pull-out drawer

Extractable storage box

A pull-out drawer is a storage compartment that slides on tracks or runners, allowing it to extend outward for access: The kitchen has pull-out drawers instead of fixed shelves.

The term emphasizes the sliding mechanism, distinguishing it from lift-off or hinged storage.

Common in kitchens, offices, and furniture where reaching deep spaces would otherwise be awkward.
