He quotes the Migdanot Eliyahu 2:62 forbade this since it is adding onto a structure attached to the ground and based this on Chazon Ish 52:14 s.v. ktav od. However, he also quoted Tzitz Eliezer 18:35 who was lenient. He explained that a drawer is just like a container within the cabinet and not built into the cabinet. Also, the intent of the one putting in the drawer isn't to build it into the cabinet but rather to have it sit on the tracks to be used easily. See there for details. Minchat Reuven sided with Tzitz Eliezer.</ref>
