   It's fine for a drawer back to sit on top of the bottom. Makes it a lot easier to slide the bottom in and square up the drawer with all types of drawer construction. The bottom gets attached to the back with screws. It's not unusual for the bottom to project past the back a little, too. Then your screws aren't right on the edge.

   Beat it to fit / Paint it to match

   The undermount drawer slides I have seen to have the bottom of the drawer sit on the slide.The slot in the back is to hold the drawer in place. I am not sure how you would do it without the notch. If you found a way to hold the back of the drawer to the slide, would you be able to take out the drawer?Domer

     All ,

           For the blums ,   The drawer back can either be notched or stopped at the top of the bottom . The 6mm - 1/4" hole drilled in the back of the back is what keeps the drawer box from tipping down as well as indexing the box into position.

   The slot is not for holding the drawer box in place the hole in the back does that

   I misunderstood the question. The undermount slides I use have a clip in the front and the hole in the back. I assumed the slot being talked about was the hole in the back. Domer
