Review on Enhance Drawer Functionality with 6 Pairs of 17mm Grooved Plastic Rail Drawer Runners, 300mm Length Slides by Chris Barreto

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Difficult to install correctly

It is very difficult to install these skids correctly because the plastic seems hard but is actually too flexible. When inserting screws, the conical hole will be pushed up or down by the screw head unless the screw is exactly in the center of the hole. This causes the plastic bar to flex slightly, causing the drawer to bind rather than slide smoothly. Because the screw hole is larger than the screw shank, it is nearly impossible to center all four screws. This could have worked better if a baseboard had been cut to install the rail, but that would have limited the amount of rail open to support the drawer.

Pros
  • Since the dimensions are measured by hand, please allow a little size difference of 1-2mm!
Cons
  • There are nuances
