VADANIA 12" Soft Close Drawer Slide, #VK1245, 3-Fold Full Extension, Self Silent Closing, Heavy Duty 100lb Load Capacity, Ball Bearing, Side Mount, Black, 1-Pair

I have a beautiful bedroom set and the glider on one of the drawers broke and the set is less than 5 years old. Even though I purchased the warranty for the furniture this is not a "warranted" item. So I was left without anyone to repair it and had no idea where to go to find a replacement. The furniture store suggested I purchase a new dresser. Yeah right!!!I looked on Amazon and they had a better replacement part for the one that was broke. It was difficult to install because it was the bottom drawer closest to the floor. The part was not the problem for making the installation difficult that was the dressers fault. I will definitely end up replacing all of the gliders for my dresser drawers with these. They are good quality and work much better than the ones originally installed.

These sliders were great. We installed them on a dresser and they are sturdy and closed softly as expected. No issues at all. The only thing my wife noted was that the drawer is a little hard to open because they hold the drawer closed so well. We decided this wasn't an issue and actually a feature we liked with them being in our nursery. I plan to replace other drawer glides with these in the near future.

I’ll preface this by saying I’ve tried almost every slide on the market that promises soft close and full extension. It’s been an exercise in frustration to the point that I’ve almost considered having our drawer boxes remade and just getting Blum slides.First the positives.The soft close mechanism is the best I’ve felt, by far.The slides are reasonably smooth and feel sturdy.The cons:No instructions in the package. Luckily, installation was similar to the multitude of other drawer slides I’ve tried, so I was able to figure it out.Check the length of the screws before you screw them all the way in on your drawers—I managed to poke through a drawer before I realized they were a hair too long.These require a decent initial tug to get them open and are just generally harder to open than the old roller slides they replaced. So far all of the models I’ve tried have been the same way but have loosened up with use, so I’m hoping these will too. I do wonder if maybe installing the glides at a very, very slight angle would help?As many others have mentioned, they are NOT full extension. My 14” slide leaves about 2.5” in the drawer.So is my quest for the perfect slide over? No. It’s super frustrating that they’re not full extension. And I wish the pull was easier. But unless I’m willing to swap out the drawer boxes so we can replace them all with Blum slides, I think these are the best we’ll get. If these were actually full extension, I’d be giving them 5 stars compared to everything else on the market.

I have a Poly Evolver Keyboard - what that means in plain English is I have a big heavy thing that takes up a lot of space, and I keep it in a cozy little room. In order to make better use of space, I decided to build a sliding shelf for it, using a couple of pieces of pine, these drawer slides mounted to some leftover red oak I found in the dumpster when they installed flooring in the new apartments next door. The result is a smooth gliding, easy access setup that looks great fully extended - no sagging or anything like that.

Some `soft close` rail kits the action is cocked as the user begins to open a given drawer. This leads to a `high` opening effort. The folks at VADANIA didn't get this right. Though a well made rail & the correct high quality self-centering screws, the high opening effort is a bummer.I installed two-pair of these: the install was straight forward, but I have an unhappy, finished result with the high opening effort. I would do more homework to find the `right` soft-close drawer slides. BTW: the choices at the Big Box (Home Depot / Loews) store are worse yet: Yes, full extension, no soft close, +the cheesy screws. Cheers, FanBelt32

I actually ordered about six other drawers slides to compare, and this was the best for my purpose. There are heavier duty slides out there but if you need a normal slide for a chest of drawers, this is the one to get.

I was looking to replace the cheap roller slides on our bedroom set since one of them was bent. I thought I'd surprise the wife with some nice soft close slides. These came in black and seemed a little nicer than the other Chinese brand. Boy was I wrong.No installation instructions in the box. Sent with minimal screws. These are supposed to hold 100lbs with two tiny screws in the cabinet and on the drawer.Carefully measured and installed only to have them get stuck about 4" before they close. After doing a bit of fiddling, I found that the pin that engages the "soft close" was super tight in its slot. It wouldn't budge... even when slamming the drawer against it.These are garbage. Dumped everything in the box and am returning to Amazon.

Good soft-close slides! Loving the full-extension feature as well as the sturdiness. Installation was smooth and clean. However, the application I was using it for required some adjustment, as noted below.Pros:- Strong and reliable. Don't seem to budge when supporting a moderate weight (>10kg)- VERY smooth. The bearings used are quiet and the spring brings the drawer to a close softly and shuts firmly.- Installation is painless. Separate the rails, measure for height, install the back screw, level, install the front screw. Repeat for the drawer. Slide the drawer in. Done!Cons:- Included screws are trash. Will immediately strip. Throw them away and use proper wood screws.- As is common with many soft-close options, will NOT work if the space between the drawer and the frame is too narrow. Take proper measurements. See note below.- May occasionally require a bit of a push before it closes flush if the springs don't catch when opening. Again, very common with soft-close and is more a consequence of installation error or user error upon opening. 99% of the time it is not an issue.Note: My application was a computer desk keyboard/mouse tray. The slides that came with the desk were cheap beyond reason and broke within the first year of use so I was very excited to try these new slides out. Because keyboard desk slides are often thinner than drawer slides, in order to get the slides to function as intended I had to shave off an extra 1/8" or more of the wood tray sides. Otherwise, if too tight of a fit these slides WILL catch and prevent proper closing. Once I had shaved off enough, they worked perfectly with no issues. Most drawers, however, will not have this issue. Measure your previous drawer slides and compare.Overall, quiet, strong, and reliable slides. More than enough for my application. Would highly recommend.

I really like these, solid in construction easy to fit, of good design and definitely well manufactured.The bearings are almost silent and the extension is a very smooth glide.A very good product and a brand I would go back to.

Although I didn't end up using these, they are very good quality and construction. Heavy metal construction and very smooth operation.Didn't use because I was able to repair the existing slides.But these are destined for replacing the slides on the kitchen drawers because they are full extension.

It took me about 20 minutes to install the slides with the included #1 Philips screws. They are heavy duty precision slides with no play that I could detect. The soft close works very well and is almost silent. The drawer is held open and closed by friction due to the design and that is a very good feature.I am very pleased and will definitely buy these again.

The instructions and linked video was not as clear as it should have been. How and where to take measurements from was not included. It put a lot of trust in the installer to know how to line up the drawer with the cabinet and be able to transfer slide mounting locations between them. A issue I came across was, when trying to get the drawers with glides installed in the mounted sliders, it was very hard to line these up and ended up bending several of the ball bearing holders, causing the ball bearings to come loose. Tips on how to do this would have helpful. Overall, once installed, it does perform very well; feels very smooth and the self/soft closing feature is awesome.
