   You can definitely use Blum Tandems or similar for a drawer that is 48" wide. For clothing you don't even need the heavy-load type; the normal 30kg rated slides will do just fine. Your major concern is only to use a bottom that will not sag. Whether or not it's practical to have such wide drawers is an entirely different matter. Personally, I think it's too much. But technically it will work just fine.

   David,

   thanks for the response. Aesthetically there is a case to be made for a single bottom drawer and then moving up to multiple drawers but speaking pragmatically I am not sure its such a good idea. if the case was narrower i.e. in the 36" range than I wouldn't have asked the question.

   thanks again.

     It's a convenient place to store pots and pans and usually gets loaded down good . How about one face attached to two boxes if your worried .
