Wonderful, clearly demonstrated video. Junk was stuck under my under-the-counter spice rack and I couldn't figure out how to get the drawer out. Afraid I would break something. So I Googled "how to remove a spice rack" and found this. It absolutely helped!! The mess beneath has been removed, drawers cleaned and ready to roll again! Thanks so much!

Just the information is worth hundreds of dollars. I have spent so much time and energy trying to fix my dresser, which is irreplaceable, literally. The place I bought it from has closed since, and it's impossible to find another one that would fit in the space that I have! It has ball bearing mechanism and I was struggling to get the drawers out coz the slides had come lose. After I chanced upon this video, I was able to fix the whole thing in less than half-an-hour. Thank you so much!

We purchased new bedroom furniture an item that was inside the drawer fell behind and then the drawer wouldn't close properly. My hand although small was not able to reach the item. I watched this very professional video and in a second I was able to pull the drawer out and retrieve the item from behind the drawer. Thank you for offering this Drawer Slide Tutorial...It was a piece of cake.

Thank you my cabinet was too full and some items just fell to the bottom of the cabinet through the gap between the shelves! I was afraid i dare not pull it out by force in case i would damage the cabinet! was so worried!! Thank you so much again!! items retrieved and cabinet still functions well!!!

God bless you mister! Last weekend your video helped me remove side railed drawers- now today I fixed a draw with an under rail that was falling for weeks every time we opened it- turns out one rail had retracted, I pulled it out and re engaged it to that locking mechanism you described🙏🙏🙏🥰

I had bought a little something for my mother which was stuck behind my drawer and I was struggling with it for an hour. I watched this video and it took a second to pull the drawer out and retrieve the gift!
Thank you so much for this video!!🙆

You’re awesome! Was literally just trying to take the drawer out and I couldn’t figure it out for the life of me! You saved the day! Thank you!

Thank you so very, very much. Your simple explanation allowed me to replace drawer that had fallen out while traveling with my travel trailer. Would have been a real pain going without this drawer as it's located below the stove...large skillet and similar storage... and really helps to keep things organized; especially in a small space.

Thank you SO much. Just like everyone else, I was having trouble with a drawer and had trouble simply removing it. Whenever you buy furniture, they should show you how to remove the drawers, so you can maintain or repair your investment. Instead, it’s “Buy the warranty, then if you have ANY problem, we’ll just replace it!” Like I want to do all that for a sticky drawer. Such a disposable mindset nowadays. Miss Fix-it of my household and I really appreciate this helpful video.

Had my headphones stuck in between the slider for months and gave up on taking it out. Who knew all i had to do was tilt my drawer up to get a better look and now I have my headphones back. I don't know whether I'm disappointed in myself or happy that I learned something new. Probably both.

Thank you so much! After tugging at drawers for twenty minutes, I found your video and fished out the item that fell behind in seconds.

[kulsik]

[coertmommsen]

Excellent video, short and just enough information to get the work done in a flash!

[bronwynlapham]

Thanks very much for this tutorial; I had a drawer that wouldn't close because things had fallen out over the back. The exquisite irony is that among the bits and pieces I retrieved were the printed instructions on how to do exactly this. :-)

[paulfavale]

God bless you. I've been fiddling with this drawer for half an hour getting no where, took ten seconds after this video

[rachelpeugh]

Thank you! This helped me fix my drawer at work and get it lockable again within three minutes!

YouTube is a wonderful thing.It's counter-intuitive to press down on one side, and push up on the other.Thanks for saving my bacon.
