Review on Pack Of 5 18 Inch Ball Bearing Drawer Slides - Full Extension Side Mount Hardware, Available In Multiple Lengths (12'',14'',16'',18'',20'') by Mike Woolford

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good for the price. Just be careful.

Bought the 12" slides to finish a chest of drawer project I had just finished. These seemed like just the thing, price was right and the reviews seemed OK. I have to say that the do work fine. They do however need just a little more "umpf" to close than I would like, but the ball bearing slides have a nice flow when opening and closing. I did destroy one pair of the slides. I guess I didn't have the removable drawer box piece of the slide EXACTLY lined up when I was trying to reinstall a drawer and knocked some of the bearings out, destroying the very cheap tin bearing race. Other than that I'm pretty happy with these.

Pros
  • The pack of 5 offers greater flexibility, enabling customizing and adapting to the specific requirements
Cons
  • Can be difficult to slide under heavy loads
