How I installed ball-bearing drawer slides to make a vintage dresser more functional and long lasting. Step by step tutorial with all materials and tools listed.  Because most of them had wood drawer slides, over time and with different environments, the wood would wear down. This caused them to not slide smoothly, stick, sag when you pulled them out all the way, and were overall a pain if you used them a lot.

But for those who love the look of vintage dressers but love the functionality of new dressers, this tutorial will help you achieve that! In my opinion the best type of drawer slide to install and use is metal ball-bearing drawer s.

I had to use spacers that were the same thickness as the desk stretchers to make sure all the holes will line up correctly. Custom Navigation drawer.
