Summerset 17 inch Double Drawer: two stacked drawers for everyday grill supplies
The Summerset 17 inch Double Drawer is a drawer unit that drops into the front of an outdoor kitchen island. Keep tools and thermometers up top, and towels, foil, and bags below. It measures 17 by 22 inches, taller than it is wide, with two drawers stacked. It mounts flush, sitting flat against a smooth island face such as tile, stucco, or panels. It is built from 304 stainless steel, the grade that holds up best outdoors, and Summerset backs it with a lifetime warranty.
The drawers pull all the way out on ball bearing slides, so nothing gets lost at the back. It suits most islands, giving you two drawers without the height a triple drawer needs. Want one more drawer in the stack? See the Summerset 17 inch Triple Drawer. The Summerset 17 inch Double Drawer ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.
FAQ
Single, double, or triple – why pick the double?
The DR2-17 is the middle path: two stacked drawers in a 17-by-22-inch vertical footprint, enough to separate cooking tools from towels and serveware without demanding the 30-inch height the triple needs. For most islands it is the sweet spot of capacity per inch of face.
How is the storage split?
Two drawers, each on its own heavy-duty full-extension track with ball-bearing slides. The typical split: metal tools and thermometers up top, towels, foil, and bags below. Because both drawers of the DR2-17 extend fully, the back of each box stays usable rather than becoming a junk graveyard.
Can I trust stainless drawers through coastal weather?
The DR2-17 is 304 stainless steel – the higher-grade alloy that resists salt-air corrosion – with a hingeless design and enclosed body. Coastal owners should rinse the face with fresh water now and then, since salt sitting on any stainless eventually tea-stains. Do that, and shorefront islands are no problem.
What is the difference between this and the masonry version?
The frame. This flush-mount DR2-17 sits flat against finished island faces – stainless panels, tile, smooth stucco – while the DR2-17M adds a 1-inch return that overlaps stone or brick veneer. Same drawers, same hardware; pick by what your island is wearing.
How do the handles hold up?
They are solid 304 stainless bar handles, the same design across Summerset grills, doors, and drawers, so the DR2-17 matches the rest of the island and there is no plating to peel or pit. Fingerprints wipe off with stainless cleaner in one pass.
What storage should a first island include?
A realistic starter kit: one double drawer like the DR2-17 for tools, an access door for the gas connection, and a trash pullout. That trio covers ninety percent of cookouts. Grow from there with outdoor kitchen drawers as you learn where your hands keep reaching.
Does it carry the lifetime warranty?
Yes – the Gold Standard Lifetime Warranty applies to the DR2-17, same as Summerset’s grills. Between that, the 304 steel, and the ball-bearing hardware, the double drawer is the kind of component you install during the build and never revisit.
