A rolling drawer is disclosed having a drawer-like tray and at least one pair of wheel assemblies mounted on either side of the tray without the use of separate fasteners, tools and the like. The tray has a bottom panel and a pair of upstanding side panels connected to the side edges of the bottom panel. At least one cut-out opening is formed in the bottom panel along each of its side edges, and each side panel has an open ended slot communicating with a respective one of the cut-out openings and projecting upwardly therefrom. Each wheel assembly includes a bracket member having an elongated plate wider than the width dimension of the open ended slots and a pair of oppositely disposed L-shaped mounting lugs on the inner surface of the plate. A wheel assembly is mounted on the tray by passing the lugs through a cut-out opening in the bottom panel and moving the bracket member upwardly into a mounted position with the lugs and sides of the plate bearing against inner and outer surface portions of a side panel, respectively, located adjacent to the marginal edges of an associated slot.
