Is the drawer removable from the cabinet? ie. Do the slides separate when you depress a release tab? Thanks!

I've owned this for well over two years, and the drawer has never come out (like slide out so far that it just popped out). Saying that, I've never actively tried to remove the drawer, but when you pull it forward it stops like there is something there to stop it. Best guess is the drawer is not removable.

It's loose inside the drawer. I had connected it wide enough that it touches the sides of the drawer. It will move a little, but you can put double sided tape on the bottom if you want it to stay in place.

The simple answer is yes, but it doesn't simply slide all the way out. There is a catch on the bottom of the tray that stops it from coming all the way out. Flip the casing over, bend the metal tabs slightly, and the drawer will slide all the way out.

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

yes tgey are removable, but it takes a little jiggleat the back by manipulating the drawer from the front.

They do not detach. It is all one unit and slides and out of the cabinet as one unit.

They do not come apart. The holes in the drawer side track align with the mounting holes in the cabinet side. Just install screws through the holes. The drawer is not removable without taking out the screws. This was an extremely heavy duty weight bearing slide and worked for my application. It has obvious limitations for cabinet use as adjustment is a problem.

Yes remove the Philips head screws where you adjust drawer height and lift off tracks.

Well, it technically doesn't slide ALL THE WAY out. There's a little lip on the very back of the drawer that prevents it from freely coming out. But you CAN remove the drawer if you want to by just sliding it as far out as possible and then lifting up on the drawer as you pull it completely out.

No, they do not slide, all the way out. The drawer inside depth is, 17 1/2 in. and when fully extended, only 11 1/2 in. is free access to files. You lose 6 in. of file space per drawer.

Yes, the cabinet can be assembled without the drawer. However, the shelf immediately above cannot be removed. There is also plenty of space on either the left or right side for a turntable as the sides contain only one adjustable shelf and are tall. One thing to note: the cabinet is nicely made but there is very little structure in place to keep it square. I wanted to build it without the cardboard backing for ventilation. I bought a package of 4 flat L brackets and screwed them into each corner. This added A LOT of stability that was missing otherwise.

There are no springs involved. The slides are designed to "self close" by way of a slight tilt at the last 2-3 inches of closure. They will not automatically retract while full open (no one really wants this anyway). The slight tilt in the last 2-3 inches of closure gives the drawer enough momentum to fully and completely close. It prevents the drawer from bouncing back open when it hits the cabinet face.

The wheels can be removed but I don't know if there will be enough room for the drawer to slide in and out.

The drawers are removable! This is a great, sturdy, and attractive little piece, by the way. I hate hanging shelves; this one gave me the least fits and holds a ton of stuff. Enjoy!

I didn't know the answer to this so went and tried it. It stops when the drawer is fully out. I don't know if there is a way to take out what stops the drawer when it is fully out or not.

The actual slide-out portion can be removed by unscrewing the inside metal support bars. HOWEVER, this does not remove the box which holds the tray. After looking at that, I believe it is integrated into the structural makeup of this desk. The back support is attached to this box from the back. I suppose that you could cut it off, leaving the back portion to support the middle wide leg. Good luck. Hope this helps in making your decision.

The slides can be attached to a shelf inside the cabinet to support the drawer that slides out. This requires side clearance of about 3/4 inch on each side if you have an existing drawer or if you build a new one.
