Guides when using drawers - not square!

I ordered this because it's a Gorilla brand. . . I'm guessing like Gorilla Glue? It has two disadvantages: 1: It doesn't have enough grip or stickiness and as a result, when you open and close the drawer, the contents and that line slide back out of alignment with the inside of the drawer. Not only does this limit effectiveness, but it also costs trying to realign everything and the liner/liner - it requires removing the entire contents of the drawer, realigning the liner, and then putting everything back in the drawer 2: You might think if you cut along the "lines" of the rubberized nobby (or a thin membrane in between) you'd end up with a piece with square corners. This is not the case at all, the material consists of rows of dowels and a thin band in between. Cutting along the thin web seems pretty obvious to me. . . except that the lines do not form straight lines. After I cut a few rows of drawers and placed them in the drawers, realizing that they weren't square (i.e. 90 degree corners), I took a closer look at the carrier roll and clearly saw that the "rows" " weren't truly straight and cutting along obvious intersections will only result in the finished part not being square. While the product does a good job of protecting the surface of the drawer bottom and reasonably reducing the noise level when stacking things in the drawer. - I do not recommend this product due to the very poor quality control involved in producing a straight edge product which should be easy to cut according to the obvious rows of cuts. Also for the poor performance of the product when it slides when opening and closing the drawer (I'm not talking about slamming or running fast). The quality control and resulting product is clearly a testament to quintessential Chinese manufacturing - it looks good from afar, but up close and operational it just doesn't quite measure up.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
