Review on πŸ“¦ Efficient Mount Drawer Slides Extension Glides: Enhancing Smooth Sliding Experience by Draven Invert

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not All Soft Close Drawer Slides Are Created Equal

If you use drawer slides frequently, you will find that they are a piece of crap compared to other full extension soft close drawer slides. .Typically, drawer side rails require the drawer to be 1" smaller than the width of the cabinet, with a tolerance of +/- 1/16". These stacked rails are 1-1/16" thick and do not compress to 1". Any shrinkage or swelling of the drawer over time will inevitably result in the drawer becoming stuck and impossible to pull out. Even installing a 16" drawer with a +/- 1/32" length variance was extremely frustrating and I am unable to repair the finished product due to customer error requiring me to return this unwanted product. Aside from the extremely cheap and crappy construction of these rails, the spacing between the screw holes is not enough to support the drawer's load evenly over the entire length of the rails. Additionally, the included screws have huge heads that attach to the sliding parts, requiring you to use your own screws. For my own amusement, I skimmed the included instructions, which may have been a product of Google Translate. If you have never installed drawer slides before, the guide will not help you with the installation. I certainly wouldn't recommend this brand to anyone unless you're looking to return to Revain.

Pros
  • Great Design
Cons
  • Crumpled Packaging
