Popular Drawer Slides

Drawer Slides (Glides) is defined as the apparatus needed to keep a drawer from accidently being pulled fully from the furniture it is installed within.  Traditional drawer slides were wooden and needed constant lubrication with paraffin wax.  

In modern times furniture that require drawers are installed with plastic or metal drawer slides.   In addition, drawer slides are categorized by the way they are mounted which we will discuss later in the blog.
