Where did you come up with a 4-5 lb savings???
By your own weights its 3.1 lb lighter, and thats without the front - or any kind of slide either.
Your math doesn't add up, no pun intended.
The math figures like this. The smaller drawer is roughly 18x18". With a weight of 6.39 lbs, that figures to .01972 lbs per sq inch. 6.39 / 324. (18*18=324).
The drawer I need is roughly 20 x 24", or 480 sq inches, and only weighs 3.74 lbs, for 480 sq inches.
Taking the .01972 lbs per sq inch, multiplying it by the 480 sq inches that I need for the drawer, and we now have approx 9.4656 lbs for a drawer built like the smaller one, but in the larger size that I need.
9.4656 - 3.74 = 5.7256 lbs difference in weight for the same size drawer.
That's how I arrived at the difference, for the approx same size drawer, which they are not, at the moment.
