The drawer also includes a spring-loaded mechanism for selectively opening, closing and/or securing the drawer respectively. A rolling disc is attached to a number of drawers at a first and second location for dynamic movement of a respective drawer through each respective track. The toe kick drawer is particularly shaped and configured to fit a geometry defined by a preexisting clearance or cavity covered or enclosed by a toe kick plate.
