Pictures of some of the vanities show metal glides on the drawer sides, but not on this one. Are there metal glides to add strength & soft close?

I sold the house that this vanity is in so I can't look at it but I believe it does have metal slides and the drawers and doors are definitley soft close. I really love this vanity. Great bang for the buck and tons of storage. The bottom drawer holds TP beautifully

Mine has nice soft close drawers and glides - this is one of the plus it actually seems nicer than the potterybarn one I got without soft close. The negative is the seam in the marble in front. I find it obvious. It is still in my garage so I cant say how the unit will hold up over time. I think it is just ok.

Nope. The metal is coated nicely. I haven't had any issues with it ruining the drawer. You may consider putting down a lining if you are worried about it doing any damage.

doesnt work like that.... not the newer drawer "closers" where they pull in the rest of the way (softly). this one has a kind of spring hinge where you close it most of the way and it will pull itself the rest of the way, not slowly, the way they have always been. but these are nice and strong and really does have a pull to it. but doesnt make it slam ! no creaking sounds, nice and smooth. one of the nicer looking hinges for the price. really upgraded my older kitchen. again if you have the outside hinges then these are great. the ones that close themselves are the ones that you attach from the inside, they pull the doors in slowly. i think those are the ones you were thinking of. doesnt work like that.... not the newer drawer "closers" where they pull in the rest of the way (softly). this one has a kind of spring hinge where you close it most of the way and it will pull itself the rest of the way, not slowly, the way they have always been. but these are nice and strong and really does have a pull to it. but doesnt make it slam ! no creaking sounds, nice and smooth. one of the nicer looking hinges for the price. really upgraded my older kitchen. again if you have the outside hinges then these are great. the ones that close themselves are the ones that you... » Read More doesnt work like that.... not the newer drawer "closers" where they pull in the rest of the way (softly). this one has a kind of spring hinge where you close it most of the way and it will pull itself the rest of the way, not slowly, the way they have always been. but these are nice and strong and really does have a pull to it. but doesnt make it slam ! no creaking sounds, nice and smooth. one of the nicer looking hinges for the price. really upgraded my older kitchen. again if you have the outside hinges then these are great. the ones that close themselves are the ones that you attach from the inside, they pull the doors in slowly. i think those are the ones you were thinking of. « Show Less

Im guessing you assembled the front of the drawer upside down. I did the same thing on one of my and the drawer would not close all the way. It would hit the bottom lip of the stand. Hope this helps.

The ones I bought were solid plastic above the track opening. The the track opening slides over the track on the bottom of the drawer......If that makes sence

Yes, this will extend fully. Likewise, the drawer can be removed completely. The drawer glides on two roller tracks mounted on the bottom sides similar to cabinet drawers. Be advised that these are constructed with a wooden "stick" framework over which a stiffened paperboard with a thin textured plastic skin is stapled onto. The aluminum corners and edges are very thin. So these are very lightweight and I would not suggest loading it up with dense files. I think the weight of a fully loaded drawer would topple the unit; especially if these were stacked. All in all these are nice to look at, but I would not trust them to be secure at all.

My unit was the same - probably due to the close clearances of the design. I'm planning on using a small dab of petroleum jelly along the runners to see if that helps. In my case, it's a good thing - helps ensure the drawer isn't bumped and comes out accidentally.

Hi, I have never had a problem with mine, but on each end there may be a clip that if you put your fingernail under the far end and pull out it will release.Other than that, Other than that, I can only suggest that there is a strong détente that can be overcome by pulling on it with a little more force. It may be that you will have to remove it and inspect the slides and make sure that they are truly free and work back and forth. I think it is possible that if there was a little misalignment when it was installed that it might be hard to slide the drawer back and forth. It may be necessary to fill and redrill a hole or two to correct alignment. Hope this helps you, Kathy. Peace.

You can not order a extra drawer. There are a specific number of glides and corresponding holes. You can obviously build you own drawer and drill holes for your own glides.

The black dowels go in the side panels and are used to keep the drawer from falling too far forward. Sounds like the other reviewer did not put the unit together correctly, since mine is very sturdy.

My drawer really does glide, always has. I love my caddy since I got it almost 3 years ago

I did - works great. The top metal mesh plate of the large has a little lip around it that keeps the 'feet' of the unit above it in line. There are also two screws at the two rear 'posts' that you can screw down into that mesh plate so it doesn't tip forward when extending the drawer.

The drawer is on the guides and it wobbles a bit. The handle of the drawer is what we were not able to install correctly and it is loose.

The predrilled bolt/screw type holes exist only on the right side of the cabinet and are recessed on the inside so as not to interfere with the sliding drawer. It would take a lot of woodworking to move it to the left side. Virginia was right on. Al

I'm guessing the softer plastic. They are not like the plastic on my fathers older drawers similar to this. I haven't had any break so no complaints here on the softer plastic.

Here is a link to the installation video http://glideware.com/video I put 2 screws in the door frame. flush with the cabinet frame and 2 screws in the back of the cabinet. I too have a drawer above. It worked out great.

I think so . . . if you could take the support bars completely out and substitute some sort of platform for the remaining protruding receiver openings. There is a supporting base to the angle top. It contains a sliding drawer. The drawer would probably not function as a slider, however.
