Depth of Cabinet Vs. Drawer Capacity:
Cabinets may be made any depth (Measured front to back) from 12" up to a maximum of 18". The greater the depth, the greater the drawer capacity will be. Typically 8 - 9 sleeved comics will fit per inch.
In order to figure capacity, subtract 1.43" from the overall outside cabinet depth then divide by 8. That should give you a close estimate.
