I was looking at getting one of those drawers when they were on sale. If not damaged by the courier, would you say they are any good? Like do the drawers slide well or do they bind up unless you push it totally square?
Believe it or not - that's not damage caused by a courier. It was so well packaged, I think you'd have to destroy the box to damage the cabinet in transit.
The drawers don't have any kind of mechanism. The drawers have a small lip, which sits on a small slider that is clipped into the side of the cabinet. It requires absolute precision in manufacturing to work and if there is any kind of deviation in size/movement the drawers will simply fall off the lip and you'll see what I have posted.
The reason those drawers fell out was because the tolerances are so minute that the drawers have nothing to run on/sit on.
I'd avoid buying any of these types of drawer sets from MA. If they have a version with runners or wheels - that may be a different prospect.
I have seen a lot of furniture places putting things on sale recently. I guess with the elephant about to enter the room in December, they want to get rid of stuff now that they know will not move once better options are here. I guess I will be waiting till I can get a helmer alongside some billys and blalidin (cant do the o over the a) that I am planning to get.
