And the added storage space can come in handy. There’s also the ability to easily mix and match shelves and rollouts. With the “systems” shelves can be used , but they become much more complex to fabricate and are very attractive.
How do the drawer slides attach securely to the sidewalls if they are drilled with 32mm holes?
I like the idea of mixing and matching shelves and pullouts.

Ditto. As to shelves, I use1/4" solid stock, glued and brad nailed. Usually an inch wide and intentionally proud at either the top or bottom (or both).

With system or “grub” screws

You just need to align the holes with the corresponding holes in the drawer runners. It’s pretty simple as the runners are already designed for this.

If your rollouts are large or will carry a lot of weight , two screws per runner will be insufficient. Once you’ve reasonably settled on a height, it’s best to drill two more holes and add additional screws.
This type of bit comes in handy.
