Consistent and smooth

18" full extension: They have been installed in a woodshop cabinet only for a couple of weeks so I cannot speak to the longevity, but their construction is consistent on all glides and they are firm with no wobble or slack. No sharp edges and the bearings don't rattle around. I will be ordering some 24" for two more cabinets. I like that they came with screws and instructions. I'll edit if problems develop.

Pros
  • Easy to install - we used them on drawers in a shop workbench.
Cons
  • The cost may be too high for some consumers

These were such a good replacement upgrade for my old roller slides. Out of the ten I received, seven rolled just right, two seemed to not have enough resistance, and one of them was way too stiff, making it unusable. I do feel for the price they are very decent, and so much quieter than the old ones.

Pros
  • The Friho 10 Inch Ball Bearing Side Mount Drawer Slides are incredibly versatile and can be used for a wide range of drawers and cabinets
Cons
  • The length options may not fit all drawer sizes

Value slides good for me

They work. Very bare bones, value slides. No soft stop or self pull in. You get what you pay for. I used them to organize my shop. They do the job. I would go for something better in my kitchen.

Pros
  • They work smoothly and efficiently, even under heavy loads, so you can trust them to support your stored items
Cons
  • The slides may not work well with older cabinets

Great slides! for my opinion

These are great slides for the money. They come overpacked with grease, so you have to wipe a lot of it off. I did damage one trying to push the drawer in, they are uber sentive to over tightening. Thankfully I ordered 1 more than I needed! Other than that, the ended up working just as well as the big box stores at half the price.

Pros
  • The hardware included in the package is made from high-quality materials and will last for many years to come
Cons
  • The slides may not be compatible with all types of wood

slide easy: my feedback

look great , a bit tougher to install -- built dresser for grandchild but have concerns the slides could pinch ( or worse ) a small child's fingers

Pros
  • The slides are made from durable steel, ensuring that they are strong enough to withstand heavy use and abuse
Cons
  • The installation may require drilling into the cabinet, which can be a challenge for some

As advertised on my review.

Well worth the money. Exactly as described, besides the fact that there were no instructions provided from the manufacturer/distributor. Fortunately, I have installed this type of slide before and there is plenty of instructional videos available online. As I reached the end of installing the last set, I realized that I did not receive the amount of screws needed to install them as I normally would. I ended up going to the big blue box store for #6 countersink screws in 5/8" length. Looking…

Pros
  • They are versatile enough to use for a wide range of home or office storage needs
Cons
  • The product may be too expensive for budget-conscious consumers

Installation was a 'breeze' with the rear-mounting extensions. I ordered five sets of each to replace damaged center-mount glides on my 5-drawer dresser.

Pros
  • They are backed by a manufacturer's warranty, making your purchase risk-free
Cons
  • The product may not be well-suited for smaller drawers

What a bargain!: my feedback

I installed 13 drawers into a custom-built wall unit in our bedroom. I repurposed the drawers from our pre-existing dressers, but they had the bottom drawer slide. I was floored when I saw how much side mount drawer slides were at the home improvement stores. I ordered these from Ebay at a FRACTION of the total cost I would've spent elsewhere. I've installed all the slides and assembled all of the drawers and couldn't be more pleased!

Pros
  • The full-extension capability encourages efficient use of storage space in each drawer
Cons
  • The product may not work well with older cabinets or drawers

No problems for my opinion

I am using these to as part of a project to build in a closet in a house damaged by a hurricane. 8 are installed so far with no problems. If they hold up they will be a great value for the price. Time will tell.

Pros
  • The 10-inch size of the slides is perfect for most standard-sized drawers and cabinets
Cons
  • The product may not be widely available in stores

Quality product in my review

I liked the fact it glides nicely and it is sturdy. I had to put the screws on the different place from the original holes, but insteration was not too bad. I replaced all the junkie slides on my boyfriend’s chest of drawers with it. Now he is super happy.

Pros
  • good for the price
Cons
  • The slides may wear down or deteriorate after extended use

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not worth it for me.

These are mediocre at best. I went with these because I wanted the black color and they were a little cheaper than alternatives. But the quality is significantly lower than the Promark brand I've purchased for several previous projects. These will suffice if you have a lightweight application that won't get heavy use. But even then, I'd still recommend the Promarks. These don't glide well on the rails, seem poorly constructed, and are difficult connect when replacing removed drawers. I would…

Pros
  • They are made from durable materials that will hold up over time, even under heavy use
Cons
  • The product may not be as durable as competitors on the market

I like them!: my feedback

Just installed them on a set of workshop drawers that I made to hold machine tools. Installation was straight forward and operation is silky smooth with a nice locking detent when closed. Units seem well made with a nice silver finish. Maybe not necessary but I substituted larger/stronger mounting screw since these drawers may end up holding a heavier than normal load. No instructions came with the units but it is not hard to figure out how they mount and there is information on the internet on

Pros
  • When you choose Friho slides, you know you're getting high-quality products that are built to last
Cons
  • The product may not be compatible with all types of cabinets

Sturdy and glides smooth

I was making a wardrobe cabinet with big drawers. These rails look simple and standard but with the weight of my drawers loaded and the gliding motion, these are quality and are lasting.

Pros
  • The full extension of the slides makes it easy to access everything in your drawers, no matter how deep they are
Cons
  • The slides may not be as sturdy as advertised

Great simple product

I used a couple to make a sliding shelf for my PC to make it easier to get to all the cables in the back. I installed it easily, and it works like a charm. Nothing in particular to say about it, just works as advertised and that's all I needed.

Pros
  • These drawer slides are perfect for DIY enthusiasts who want to upgrade their cabinets without hiring a professional
Cons
  • The product may not be compatible with all hardware brands

I've used the 22" and 16" on several projects and they seem to work fine for about 1/3 the price i'd been paying. Mainly been using them on pull out trays I've made for our kitchen & bathroom cabinets.

Pros
  • Lever disconnect for easy drawer removal
Cons
  • The drawer may not glide smoothly if not installed properly

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Dimensions don't match information

I ordered a 16" slide with a 16" extension and planned for that. As delivered they are 15.75 long with a 15.25" extension. Folks, just tell me that initially. I can react to the difference, but I planned and documented for 16".BTW these appear stout enough and well built otherwise. Order before you do your drawings

Pros
  • They are suitable for use with deep drawers, ensuring that you can store everything you need
Cons
  • The packaging may be bulky or difficult to transport

They're doing great.

I'm very pleased with how these drawer slides are working, especially given that they're a bit cheaper than even the cheapest ones you can find at the box stores. I've used them to make a drawer in a small PC stand, and to make drawers for a drill press stand that takes a fair bit of abuse and is used to store scrap metal and such. They're not self-closing or anything fancy, but they do have a soft stop of sorts that also helps hold the drawer closed. I'll definitely be buying more of these as…

Pros
  • The fasteners included in the package are high-quality and easy to use
Cons
  • The ball bearings may fall out during installation or use

Excellent quality drawer slides!

If you want a easy install get the kreg drawer slider kit from your local hardware store. There are some reviews that these are cheap but I am here to tell you they are not. Great quality and are heavy duty. I will most definitely be purchasing these again on my next build.

Pros
  • The Friho slides come with precise measurements and easy-to-follow instructions, making installation simple
Cons
  • The product may not be stable enough for heavy usage

New Desk glides good for me

Needed to replace some desk drawer glides I screwed up a couple years ago by mistake. I purchased these to correct my mistake and went way above my expectations. Easy install supplied the hardware needed and were way better quality than ones that come with the desk.

Pros
  • The full-extension design ensures that you can access everything in your drawer, even items that are in the very back
Cons
  • The ball bearings may rust over time and cause damage to the drawer or cabinet

Its a good product except for the bearing issue

one side of one of the tracks had some ball bearing problems but I got the set of 5 to have a spare. I would definitely buy again for my next project

Pros
  • The package includes everything you need to install the slides, so you can get started right away
Cons
  • The slides may not have a smooth opening and closing motion
