A comestible storage compartment for a refrigeration unit including a drawer slidably received in a supporting frame. The drawer is molded in the form of a tub having a bottom wall, side and end walls and a front wall lip. A front wall panel is disposed in a free standing relationship on the front wall lip approximate the forward edges of the side walls. A front wall cover is disposed over the front wall panel and is secured to the forward edges of the side walls to hold the panel on the lip. A lateral flange projects outwardly from the side walls and includes a downturned lip for defining a drawer track channel. Inwardly directed ribs extend longitudinally from the drawer frame and are disposed for spaced flow interrupting relationship with the lip on the lateral flanges. The drawer is stabilized in the track channels by forming one of the track rollers with a lateral dimension approximately equal to that of the track channel on the frame and the other track roller with a lateral dimension less than that of the track channel. The drawer rollers include a molded roller with a circular body and a shank having a central aperture. A crowned insert is disposed in the aperture which includes a shaft having a length greater than the length of the aperture and a radial flange to isolate the shank from the side wall.
