do the drawers slide wood on wood, or on metal rails or glides

Wood on wood. It's a very nice piece and very heavy. The drawers do have stops on them so they won't come all the way out while pulling them open.

Yes, the drawers have slides but one of mine catches slightly when opened fully. It doesn't really affect the operation much.

These drawers slide very nicely, not like the other kind that have a hard time with weight.

You have to play with them as you install... Pull the premounted rails out, make sure you are setting the drawer rails level, and sliding past the plastic lockers....then it's in when you can push them all the way back.

There is one rail for each drawer that mounts in the center of the opening. Two rollers that mount on either side of the opening also one roller mounts on the back of the drawer itself and runs on the rail.

They have removable metal rails and can be used as a filing cabinet, or just deep drawers.

They rotate but not easily. On my wood floors the wheels just slide since it's plastic and has little friction.

Yes. You can slide the drawers open but the bottom one won't then pivot down, the other drawers will only pivot down to the point they hit the counter top.

The drawers are held by metal rails that you attach to the sides with screws. Yes, they do open and close smoothly.

No, the drawers should recess into the cabinet. I had a terrible time with the slides. The little brass screws that hold the slides must be perfectly flush with the metal or the drawer will not slide back properly. Took me two days to finally get them to fit right (and a little cursing!). Good Luck!

We have had problems with a couple of the drawer glides, yes. One right off, the other, I think they put too much weight in the drawer. They could improve that.

Each of these drawer slides have two parts. One part is attached to the cabinet with supplied screws and the other part is attached to the drawer with supplied screws. Two wheels are used to slide the drawers simply and effectively. Nice slides that come out about 10 inches from the cabinet, maybe a little more.

open the drawer and look at the rails, there is a small lever on each side. Either Push down or pull up and hold them in that position while pulling the drawer forward out of the frame.

There are not glides underneath the drawer like, say, in most all kitchen drawers -- there is a wooden knob on each side of the drawer and a track which I suppose serves the purpose of gliding the drawer in and out. Having said that, we bought two last fall and use them for our bedside tables and they have been a great purchase -- very sturdy - both arrived in immaculate condition - drawers are very easy to pull open and close and they have a stop feature so the drawer would never come all the way out. Our toddler can easily open and close them...but again, they don't feel flimsy at all -- it looks and seems like a very expensive piece of furniture even though it's really affordable compared to something comparable at Pottery Barn, etc. We are still pleased with our purchase 9 months later. Hope this helps.

Yes, it has a hidden top drawer which looks like the huge top trim. I do not feel any metal drawer glides. It is solid wood on solid wood. Very smooth. Has a drawer stop so the drawers do not tip out or tip down. Great design. we love ours.

Drawers do open easily after they've passed a "locked" position. Both don't actually lock, they simple are tight which makes it harder for children to open ( this is by design). Only 1 drawer will open at a time as a safety feature. Drawers do glide easily. However, I do not have a ton if weight in the drawers.

Remove the drawer from the dresser and set aside. Tack one glide in each of the bottom corners of the space where the drawer fits so that the right and left bottom rail of the drawer will slide over these tabs when you replace it into the space. It is designed to make the drawer move smoothly in and out of the dresser without wood on wood friction, at least at the front.
