The side view shows the tray "deployed"; each separate line represents 2 parallel pieces of 8020. The top rectangle in both views is the "drawer".
The kit you recommended looks quite good; if I wasn't forced to build this in my bedroom I would...
Thanks so much for the advice.

Second, I'm afraid I'm unclear about what you mean by "inside surfaces of the legs".
