Abstract

A platform structure is provided that is suitable for incorporation into a drawer, a slidable tray, a storage pedestal, or the like. The platform structure comprises a formed thermoplastic sheet member which has desired compartments defined therein, and an underlying frame structure, preferably wood or a wood-containing material. Contacting surfaces are bonded together with an adhesive. Rails can be mounted along opposite side walls for slide purposes, as in a drawer or tray assembly. Alternatively, rear facial portions of the frame structure can be connected to the top of a storage pedestal or the like.
