How do I get the drawers to slide out so I can get the handles and attach them?

My husband gentley pried it open with a screwdriver being careful not to nick the wood. That was a pain but he managed to do it. Other than that, I am very satisfied with the product.

Stick a small screwdriver in one of the drawer's screw holes. Angle it and pull the drawer out. Or you might try tilting the unit forward and shaking the unit to get the drawers to roll out

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.

You need to look at the shape of the rail as there as there are 3 different styles of brackets/rails. One of them will match up to the shape of the rail and slide right in. The trick is to Match the shape of the drawer rail to shape (style) of bracket. Took me 3 tries before I got the correct one.

You would need a different model because the slides for the drawers are pre-made and there is a piece of wood separating the space for the drawers from the space for the doors. You might be able to rearrange everything but the cost and effort would not be worth it.

I don't know -- I didn't try to get the drawers out. The delivery person put it in the room where I wanted it and I slid it into place before putting file folders in the drawers.

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.

We had the same problem. Had to get new higher quality rails and add a shim between the rail and the desk so the drawer would fit properly. I would suggest returning it if you don't want to go to that much trouble.

In my experience, the drawers stay in very well. I haven't had any problem with them slipping out accidentally. And, while the wheels are removable, you would probably want to put something else there for stability.

Should be common sense..close them first. I purposely do that, the top is always closed on mine, but I opened it, pulled the drawers out, closed the top, the pushed the drawers closed, thus I can access the drawers without having to open the top first.

Yes, the legs go into the wood in order for the handles to be flush with the drawer. I was worried I would have to drill larger holes, but it ended up not being necessary. Good luck, hope this helps.

There are 2 undermounted drawer rails for the drawer. Pull out the drawer & look underneath at the rails. On each rail there is a screw (usually located nearest the drawer face) that holds the drawer to the rails. Remove one screw from each rail to release the drawer from the rails. Then, give the underside the drawer a light upwards tap. The drawer should pop right out. Thank you!

You need to make sure all of the drawers are pushed all the way in. The same thing happened to me the first time I tried to lock mine. But like Michael I prefer to leave mine slightly ajar so I can have the top closed and still have access to the tools in the drawers.

Give yourself one-half inch on each side of your drawers for the slides. I replaced existing nylon roller slides and they worked perfect. Just adjust your height to each drawer.

Like some of the other posters said, the sliding mechanism is going to move out. I think just shimming the base of the track would be a good idea. Might limit what items you can actually put in the drawer, though, height-wise.

I didn't have a problem with dividers not fitting. I had the problem of the handles coming unglued from the drawers but I used the loctite super glue, ultra gel control and I haven't had any more handles problem. ;)

I know it seems as if there should be another release but there isn't - When you press down on the side releases just firmly pull the drawer towards you and it will come out. Take care to line up the rails when you are putting the drawer back on the rails. Once you get it going straight just push it completely back and you are set to go.

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.
