How do you attach drawers to the unit? I would appreciate any assistance. Like where do the black dowels go and what are they for?

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.

I forgot to mention that the only component actually attached between the drawer and the side panel are the pivot pegs. Sorry but I don't remember the actual name of the part.

My hubby put it together so I don't know but what I do know is it's cheaply made and falls apart all the time. We got it to keep our toddler out of our shoes... It's turned out to be more of a hassle and danger to our child. Good luck!

Were there supposed to be pre-drilled holes to screw the plastic piece to the side? Are the big holes on the sides for the dowels?

There is a guide/rail to be mounted in cabinet, centered on drawer, and the braket which goes on the back of the drawer and into guide. Also a mounting bracket for the guide which attaches to the cabinet. There are also 2 rollers which attach to the drawer opening in the cabinet as well as all needed screws. The guide/rail can be cut to size, order your size accordingly. Enough for ONE drawer only.

Ummmmm yeah if I remember correctly there somewhat of a manual, it had instructions that were OK to follow. It just sulked cuz they sent the wrong size screws for the drawers. I had to try n find screws that fit but it wasn't easy took me 2 trips to the hardware store. Hopefully that doesn't happen to you.

It was an easy install as I recall. I think I just drilled the two holes to mount the drawer glide with my electric drill and a 1/8" bit (or smaller) and used a couple of screws to secure the glide to the drawer.Good luck!john

The tracks should be mounted on the underside of the drawers. Fully extend the drawers and remove the screw that is closest to the face of the drawer. Then, give the underside of the drawer a light upwards tap, and the drawer should pop right out.

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.

The "drawer" slider rails are joined together by two pieces of U-shaped frame. One piece of U frame is mounted to the floor near the front of the cabinet, the other near the back of cabinet. So the two U shaped frame mounts connect to the cabinet bottom w/ screws. There is also a stabilizer bar on the back of the frame that screws into the back panel of the cabinet. Hope that helps.

If you lift off the top board/slab and there should be small clips on the drawers which lock them into place. You will need to hold them down before you can slide them out.

There is not a solid layer between each drawer but they do not rest on each other. The Black part is a frame so each drawer is separate. I am a teacher and I stack and stuff pretty solidly. The unit has suited my purposes quite well.

I put it together with the valuable assistance of my son. I bought glue because of another customer's comment. The result is an extremely sturdy, utilitarian set of drawers that I needed badly! Whew!

I had the same issue, but I don't remember how I eventually got them out. See if there is something that needs to be pushed up on the bottom or if the drawer needs to be raised up to be taken out. There was a trick to it--I remember that.

You need to attach with supplied nails to the two sides.....back of the drawers and other enclosed portion for the computer tower...... the firm cardboard back that matches the wood finishThe rest is open. The wood slats(9modesty panels) are finished.

The pulls screw into pre-drilled holes on the drawer fronts. If you had your own pulls with screws attached that fit the holes, or are comfortable increasing the size of the holes, then different pulls could be used. IMO, that seems like a lot of work for a cheap side table.

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 don't think it's possible to switch the drawer location-- at least not easily. All of the holes are pre-drilled for the location as is. I'm sure a carpenter could figure out how to do it, but it's not a versatile design.

They lay flat against the drawer Rita. You will probable need longer screws which can be purchased at Home Depot etc.

Hi Christin, it's pretty straightforward how to put it together. I was fiddling for a while with the dowels, but they fell in place eventually. Definitely not a reason not to buy it!
