Diy Drawer Slides - So i put a block like in the drawing. I did line the bottom sides of the drawers with uhmw tape. The slides are in 2 pieces: I built a 7 drawer teak dresser back in 1975 that has wood dovetail slides still works like new today. The big advantage to the metal slides is that you can get a 3/4, full or over extension slide and you can pull it all the way out without the drawer falling out.

The runner above the drawer has to be close clearance to keep the drawer from tipping when open and even then you are limited to about 3/4 extension. Metal slides can be installed so that they do not show at all unless you get down and look under the drawer. It just hangs low enough to catch the back of the drawer.
