We're in the process of drawing up some plans for a rear storage system including fridge slide. I've noticed that the drawers in the commercially made units we've looked at don't fully extend, so I'm wondering if those who have such a system could tell me approx. how much of the drawer is left unextended and whether or not this has proved to be a pain.

Reason I ask is that the leads we have on heavy duty drawer runners are about $40/pair for 50kg capacity with extension of 650mm. Because we need to access child restraint points on the floor the max. drawer length we can have is 750mm which means we'd have 100mm of unextended drawer space. Yes, I can source longer runners in almost any length up to about a 1 metre but once we go over the 650mm the price jumps up by another $100/pair.

Note that I am talking about the drawer runners here and not the fridge slide.
