1. A drawer for an article of furniture, said drawer comprising:
two side members and a back member;
each said member being formed of a plastic material;
opposite ends of said back member including integral first connecting elements connectable to respective second connecting elements of said side members by relative vertical movement between said back member and said side members;
each of one of said first and second connecting means comprising a vertically extending T-shaped rail;
each of the other of said first and second connecting means comprising a vertically extending slot of a dimension to vertically slidably receive by complementary abutting surface contact a respective said T-shaped rail;
the said member having therein each said slot having a hollow box-like configuration including an inner side wall and an upper web, said slot being formed in said inner side wall and opening into a T-shaped opening in said upper web;
said back member and said side members having formed in inner sides thereof respective longitudinal horizontal grooves extending in a single horizontal plane when said back member and said side members are connected; and
a bottom drawer member slidably fitting into said grooves.
2. A drawer as claimed in claim 1, wherein the vertical height of each said rail and the respective said slot is more than half, and less than the entire, height of the respective said members.
3. A drawer as claimed in claim 1, wherein said T-shaped rails are at opposite lateral ends of said back member, and said slots are in said side members.
4. A drawer as claimed in claim 1 or claim 3, wherein each said side member has formed exteriorly therein a horizontal longitudinal groove forming a guide channel for a roller member of the drawer.
