So many have asked, some have created solutions, here's my take on it. This could easily be done with simple pine painted or stained. We used cover panel since ours are behind glass doors.

What you need:
Rationell drawer fronts (to use the grey ends which fit into the drawer box)
1/2 inch wood to be ripped down (blue tape if you want to cut down cover panel)
Circular saw (table saw would be preferable for a straight cut)
Electric drill and 1/4" drill bit
Awl
straight blade or hand saw
screwdriver (electric is ok)

Alright I'm just going to explain how we did it and you can modify for yourself as needed.
Here is the 1/2" thick cover panel with measurements on blue tape for cutting. It's important to note that the strip of wood will not appear as tall as a standard Rational drawer front.

30" or 36" Pull Out Shelf/ Drawer Front 

Cut the strip, we did two. It's about 1 1/2", you could probably get away with 1 3/4" but you might have a bit of trouble at the actual joining to the end bracket

30" or 36" Pull Out Shelf/ Drawer Front 

Line it up to the gray Rationnel end piece and saw or cut with a straight blade the two channels that correspond to the end piece

30" or 36" Pull Out Shelf/ Drawer Front 

Use the awl to punch the screw hole. Drill a 1/4" hole to accommodate the screw hole part of the gray bracket (you only have to drill down about 3/8). You also might want to use a thinner drill bit to predrill the actual screw hole (**note** this picture is PURELY for illustration purposes. The hole was already drilled, i simply staged this for the picture... no Dulci was hurt in the creation of this modification)

30" or 36" Pull Out Shelf/ Drawer Front 

It will look something like this

30" or 36" Pull Out Shelf/ Drawer Front 

If you want (and if it's applicable) you can stain the cut part of the wood

30" or 36" Pull Out Shelf/ Drawer Front 

Attach the ends tightly making sure the channels fit, cut more if you have to. The ends might be a bit wiggly, but when the attach to the drawer front the will become more solid.

That's it... any questions?

any questions?

Who's the daredevil risking a 1/4" hole in the meaty part of the back of their hand? VERY dangerous, Dulci!!!!! VERY dangerous!!!!

Chuck, I had already drilled the whole, i was just demonstrating afterwards how it goes.... god i would never think of using power tools and taking pics at the same time! nor would i drill it like that.

i'll edit the picture to say that.

ok chuck, i edited the pic. btw, the drill was just laying on the table, i was alone and my right hand was holding the camera, but thank you for catching that, cause I'd hate to have an accident on my conscience.

I bow to you. Thanks mucho!

I wonder if it wouldn't be less expensive to just buy the front brackets from a woodworking place rather than buy the drawer front?

the 15" drawer front is 5$ and i didn't have to pay shipping. I like the blum alternative, but i didn't have time to wait for things to ship... this was a rush job that we decided one day to remodel and bought the cabinets the next day

but again, there are other alternatives, this is just mine
