    Abstract: A sliding and tilting shelf drawer for storing and organizing various articles. The drawer includes a compartment that slides between a storage and an accessible position and tilts between an upright and a tilted position. The drawer also includes a base member having a pair of tracks and a pair of slide members slidingly disposed in the tracks. The compartment is pivotally attached to the slide members. The compartment has openings so that the articles may be viewed from outside the compartment and so that the drawer may be installed as a single unit. The base member has a lip for engaging a front edge of a shelf surface so that the drawer may be correctly position and easily installed. The base member may also be attached to a back wall to prevent the surface from tilting. The compartment may also be removed from the base member. The compartment may be formed of horizontal and vertical members. A handle attaches to the compartment and mates with the horizontal and vertical members.
