Speaking from direct personal experience, it works fine. You don't whip the drawer all the way open when it's full of chemistry; you gently pull it open maybe four inches, and use the tongs to insert/remove your paper.
I melted off the little plastic stops at the end of each drawer with a soldering iron (and good ventillation) to make them easier to pull all the way out, which makes putting the chemicals away much easier.
