I never commented on any video on YT but this video demonstration is the best with clear and concise instructions 👍

[@joeh1998]

I echo every positive comment on this thread. One drawer on my chest of drawers blocked another one from opening...for months! I'm back in business, thanks to you. Great video!

[@crispincattermole]

Don't have them release clips.

[@charles.sawadogo]

Very very helpful. I struggled for hours but after looking at this I was able to pull it out within a minute. Kind of feel like I suffered before discovering your video 😅

[@lenatatton1104]

Thank you!! I've been driving myself nuts trying to get a drawer out and this video was perfect, took me 5 seconds!

[@gunjaan6674]

Fantastic! You explained process so simply. Solved my months long problem! I was able to unlock, remove the object from behind and set back.

[@smgreen4414]

Omg your video saved me from destroying my nice dresser. Thank you!!!

[@moniquefletcher2186]

Right lol me too

[@meganrollins9814]

Okay so I have this kind of draw but the little levers aren’t working tried it on 3 draws any tips??

[@dollielloyd3993]

Good demonstration, please don’t be offended but too much unnecessary talking but the best demonstration by far

[@65Leadfoot]

Excellent. I spent 30 minutes trying to do this before I searched for your video, thank you!

[@Tainiecko]

You saved my life. I was so frustrated not being able to close my drawers

[@stasiawierzbicki2679]

What do you do when there's no lever, just a rubber piece... It's not broken, all 6 drawers are the same..

[@LarryFlathmann]

I want to know this too

[@patriciatyler1193]

​@LarryFlathmann me too!!

[@joshm8754]

Same, instead of a lever, my drawers have a semicircular plastic bumper on it

[@janielee6667]

Omygoodness!! You are a life saver... thank you so much for taking the time to show this mama how to fix this drawer.. you'll be my 1st stop with fixings around the house 🏠. 😊

[@cindiet6827]

Thank you! I looked at this table for 3 days. Ashley side table. You had to take drawer out to start putting together. Amazon said it was damaged send it back. I told them no I would call Ashley. They were no help. I had my friend over she couldn’t figure it out. So I go to my I pad clicked on you. I was sure there had to be a clip or something. Thanks to you there it was a little black plastic piece just like you said. It moved up and down.😂

[@tovaabeles910]

OMG MY DRAWER HASN'T GONE ALL THE WAY IN FOR YEARS!!!! THANK YOU!!!!

[@christinehaire4677]

Thank you so much. This video was the absolute best. I finally was able to take the drawer out and put it back in. I can't thank you enough. Praise God I came across this video. Many many thanks

I was able to unstick my drawer AND put it back properly thanks to your tutorial! Thank you :)

[@markbloom2454]

Thank you. What fooled me before I watched your video was that one of my levers needs to go up and the other lever needs to go down. I was either pulling both up or both down.

[@angelinechaney]

I have a desk with the basic sander rails but no levers. So you know how to release them when they don't have the little levers on the sides? Other than the levers, the rails look the same. And I have the same issue, something behind the drawer and it can't be reached any other way. Appreciate any help here.

[@Idolfan96]

Thank you so much for this video it was SO helpful!! I’ve been trying to figure out how to take my drawers out for ages!

[@Notwoke811]

Thank you!!!! The other videos did not explain it right and I fought with this all day until I found your video!! Much appreciated :)

[@desireedowdell4265]

Thank you so much for your excellent tutorial. I was able to retrieve many lost items from my bedside dresser 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@harshaasrani7317]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This was so super helpful..I was struggling with my drawer for over an hour before I decided to youtube how to do it and you video saved my day!!!!!

[@johnnytday1]

Thanks! After watching several videos, yours was the one that finally helped

[@saddestchord7622]

THANK YOU. I'm remodeling my home office and I have a huge L-Shaped desk that's very, very heavy. I've already removed the lighting and have taped off the window in preparation for painting and have no light in there. I could not see those little levers. My slides unfinished steel and and so are the levers so they blended right in with that dim lighting.

[@shaleent-yl4yf]

Very nicely explained, liked all details. The small details always help which I found in this video.

[@shannonm.2354]

I found your tutorial to be spot on. 😊😊😊 Thanks

[@andylucas1175]

Good video with clear and concise instructions, thank you.

[@mariaepps9023]

Thank you very much for the video. I am able to get both sides on those raises but the drawer goes only a half way. It closes a half way only. What should I do. I believe the issue is on the left side. Maybe the lock doesn't latches well. Not sure...

[@savage83libra63]

This happened to me when trying put the drawer back I discovered I had bent the metal frame inside the moving rail that is attached inside the dresser not the drawer a quick fix straightening with pliers and the drawer went back all the way smoothly. I believe I did this because I tried to be lazy and put the drawer back without removing the contents of the drawer and I hadn’t lined it up correctly and caused the bend in the rail. Hope this helps.

[@j.b.9581]

Watched this video. It makes perfect sense. However, I am working with kitchen drawers that have plastic tabs for 'release' and they do not budge. I ended up digging behind the drawer with a pair of tongs. Where is the 'how to' for kitchen drawers? (I don't like this 'modern' cr4p, I call it moDURN).

[@jamesbowe437]

What happens if the levers don’t release the drawer? Am I doing something wrong

[@s2211able]

Same here

What if you don’t have levers ? I can’t find mine

[@msw8313]

Why is the title picture on your video not the drawer that you are demonstrating? I would like to know how to remove the drawer that you have as your title photo please. I feel like I’ve been duped. Frustrated and duped. Please tell me you know how to do it, and why you have that photo and description when that is not what your video is ?

[@debrabrown8145]

😮how do you remove a kitchen drawer that is not a glider has a metal clip that lifts up on each but it is stuck and will only come out so far in the down position I have the metal clips up but drawer will only come out so far it is bent in some way by someone leaning on it pushing it down but can’t get it out only come out so far track is bent in some way but can’t remove the drawer need help to remove drawer show video on how to remove this drawer please

[@tedjakubczyk7688]

same question, if it is broken, how do I remove it

[@catastrophic8380]

Mannnnnnn, your AWESOME ❤

[@mikecoughlin4128]

Help! I have two nightstands with slides just like this. We removed all of the drawers from both as we emptied out the room for new flooring. I’m now trying to put the drawers back in. My nightstand was no problem. All 3 drawers went back in as they should. None of my wife’s drawers will go in past the “click”. There are 3 parts to the slide. The one fixed to the drawer, the one fixed inside the cabinet, and the one that slides in between. It seems that once the drawer slides in to the point that the sliding track is flush with the one inside the cabinet it stops. I believe that’s when the drawer slide should glide by but it won’t. Exact same issue on all 3 drawers. They are marked 1, 2, 3 on the back so I’m even putting them back where they came from. I tried swapping two of them but same issue. I know they are in the correct cabinets. Anyone have any ideas? I’ve stared at them and retried several times.

[@savage83libra63]

This happed to me check if any of the railing became bent in removing the drawer straighten them out with pliers the drawer should then slide right in it just happened to me and I was able to fix it right away hope this helps.

[@mikecoughlin4128]

@@savage83libra63 I finally figured it out. I had to go back to the beginning and figure out which of my “knowns” were wrong. It turned out to be that I had swapped the cabinets even though I “knew” I did not. The furniture is made by the Amish, so although they look identical there are minor differences. Once I had the correct drawers in the correct cabinets all was good! Thanks for the tip though.

[@savage83libra63]

@@mikecoughlin4128 so glad you figured it out the slight panic I had when my drawer wouldn’t go back for that short time was awful.

Mine doesn’t have the tabs.. what do I do?..
