The support-bridge module is the structural piece in Modu Drawer's modular system that lets you stack a second tier of modules above the first. In drawers deeper than 8 cm, it doubles capacity in the same width and length.
How the bridge works
The support-bridge sits on the lower-tier modules and provides a flat surface at second-tier height with the same grid pattern as the base. Modules of the second tier (typically smaller — fork-spoon bays, sachet bins, small rectangles) snap onto the bridge the same way they'd snap onto the base.
Three structural rules:
- The lower tier needs to be flat and stable. Mixed-height lower modules don't support a bridge cleanly.
- The drawer needs at least 8 cm internal depth for the second tier to clear the lower modules.
- Heavier items belong on the lower tier; the bridge is rated for typical kitchen contents (cutlery, sachets, bag clips) but not for heavy pots or industrial tools.
When it doubles capacity
- Cutlery drawers with extra depth. A 2-Tier Fork and Spoon 8×2 lower + a Fork & Spoon 8×5 upper is the classic stack — two tiers of cutlery in the same footprint as one.
- Coffee station drawers. Pod bins below; sachet bins, scoops, and stirrers above.
- Junk drawers. Frequently-used items on top, occasional items below.
When stacking doesn't help
- Drawers under 8 cm depth. The second tier won't clear the first.
- Already-full lower tier. If every lower-tier cell is occupied, there's no room for a stable bridge platform. Plan stacking from the start.
- Tall lower-tier items. Cling-film boxes, mortar-and-pestle sets — anything taller than the available stacking clearance defeats the second tier.
The drawer builder shows whether stacking is an option once you enter the drawer's depth. See also drawer depth and stackable drawer organiser.
