Ball bearings good for me

Ordered these for a set of four drawers for an outfeed table and storage combo unit. They seemed fine out of the box and seemed to function and track flawlessly but.while installing these the tabs on the rails would bind, bend easily, and ball bearings would be released all over the place! After several hours of moving the ball bearings back in place and bending the tabs back in place, I was able to open and close the drawers. Will rethink another purchase of this brand.UPDATE; After posting…

Pros
  • Hardware
Cons
  • Easy to damage during installation

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Be careful if you need to replace drawer.

I bought a set of five for my ever growing need for drawer space in my work shop. Initially they were perfect, especially for the price. Great value. When I had to move things around(which happens often in wood shop,lol) I damaged the ball bearings on a couple of slides removing the door. Probably my fault for not being over gentle. Good product though. I rarely do a review but If this helps someone learn from my mistake great. Save your money and get this product instead of your local big box…

Pros
  • The slides are perfect for use in custom cabinets or DIY projects
Cons
  • Cannot handle extreme temperatures

What a bargain! for my opinion

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 Revain 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 side mount design allows for more drawer space, as there is no hardware underneath
Cons
  • Not a popular brand

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

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

love these slides! for my opinion

These slides are terrific! I ordered these for drawers in a galley I'm building in a van. A valuable feature the seller does not mention is that these slides 'lock' into the closed position. I was expecting to need latches to hold my drawers still while driving, nope, the slides lock. This is a big deal. They were easy to install, slide very smoothly and lock. What else could you ask for? I would highly recommend this product.

Pros
  • The product is made with quality materials, ensuring value for your money
Cons
  • Not suitable for use in old or worn cabinets

Good value for my opinion

So far so good. I bought as replacements for a tool cart. I couldn’t find the original ones and when I did they were super expensive. These have held up fine so far. Seem sturdy.

Pros
  • The slides have a sleek and modern design that enhances the overall look of any cabinet or drawer
Cons
  • Not suitable for commercial or heavy-use applications

Great Quality, very happy.

So happy with my purchase! They are very sturdy. I used them in my kitchen. They hold my cookbooks with ease and of course one is a junk drawer which has everything in it. Great quality.

Pros
  • The slides offer quiet and smooth operation, ideal for home and office environments
Cons
  • May cause splinters or other injury if handled improperly

Quality product best 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
  • The 18-inch length is a standard size for most drawer applications
Cons
  • Does not glide smoothly

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good value for my opinion

They glide very well and really do feel like premium quality slides. I would purchase this brand again and would recommend to friends.

Pros
  • The 18-inch length is perfect for most standard size drawers
Cons
  • Drawer does not extend fully

Taken A Chance: my feedback

4 out of 5 tracks worked but one is not working 100% its sounds like the rollers are gonna fallout only 1 draw not all 5 the other 4 pretty happy with the one that's not working correctly also Gets stiff half way I took apart reinstall I even added chain lube to help everything is leveled and not hitting nothing

Pros
  • The slides are manufactured to meet industry standards, ensuring reliability and safety
Cons
  • Limited weight capacity for each drawer

I could not make them work.

I could not make 3 of the five sets work at all. The drawers would just stop halfway in. And two of the ball bearing units just got mangled and ball bearings went all over.These are not for the average layperson. The instructions were zero help. Pictured. And I admit I have never installed this kind of drawer glide before.

Pros
  • The product is made of high-quality steel that resists rust and corrosion
Cons
  • Poor quality construction materials

Great Deal - my new review

I was building a cabinet with 5 drawers and when I went to the local building supply to look at glides I got discouraged. So when I found these I thought what the heck. I was extremely delighted when they came and seen the quality. I got five for what two were going to cost.

Pros
  • The side mount hardware is easy to install and does not take up additional space
Cons
  • Drawer slides out too far from cabinet

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent slides for the money--smooth and quiet

I side-mounted these (20" slides) on 16.5" wide by 20" deep drawers and they fit and work perfectly.It would be nice if the mfg would confirm whether or not standard rear mounting brackets (whether available from Friho or from another manufacturer) will fit. Why? For some situations it is much easier to mount drawer slides that are level and true using rear mounting brackets.

Pros
  • The pack of 5 offers savings on cost, reducing the need for frequent replacements
Cons
  • Can be uncomfortable or difficult to use for individuals with arthritis or other mobility issues

Lowes wants $25 for 1 set

enough said. not soft closing but its workbench drawers. Kreg offers a kit item that helps install them, but a few YouTube Videos you can just get them

Pros
  • The product is available in multiple lengths, making it easier to find the perfect fit for your drawers
Cons
  • May scratch or damage contents inside the drawer

Good quality so far

I have purchased these twice for drawers for two workbenches and they have held up well so far. I have two of my drawers loaded down and these tracks seem to handle the load well. My only complaints are that the sent an exact amount of screws for 3 screws per track and no more. In my last purchase the screw bag had about 100 cuttings of metal in the bag which had a punched hole in it and anytime I grabbed the bag of screws these cuttings would fall out of the punched hole all over the place…

Pros
  • The slides have a natural extension that provides easy access to items in the back of the drawer
Cons
  • Slides can jam or become stuck easily

Great replacement for drawer rails

Used these to replace the rails on some under-the-bed drawers on a bedroom set we bought for my 14-year old. The drawers never really slide in/out very well and after a while, the rails would not stay in. Replaced with these and they work great so far. Drawers slide in and out like they are supposed to.

Pros
  • The slides are suitable for use in both residential and commercial settings
Cons
  • Difficult to return or exchange

Good slide good for me

Ran out of the slides from my cabinet material supplier & ordered these so I could finish the job. They work as well as the more expensive ones through my supplier. I'll be ordering more of these.

Pros
  • Side mounted, non handed design, positive stop
Cons
  • Does not come with installation instructions

Great slides! on my review.

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 slides are compatible with most drawer types and sizes
Cons
  • Installation costs can add up quickly

Good Product at a good price

Heavy, sturdy and work smoothly. I changed the former flimsy slides that came with my workbench with these and am pleased with their performance.

Pros
  • Used in closet to make belt rack and drawers. Worked well
Cons
  • Unattractive appearance

Revainrating 5 out of 5

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
  • The slides are easy to maintain and require minimal cleaning
Cons
  • Requires frequent adjustments
