So I found out that the reason it didn't open as much as the other drawers that I fixed is because at 07:30 and 08:00 I put the one metall piece the wrong way 😛 When you put the piece that will be screwed back in the walls in the other piece, the side that has the 3 holes needs to go in first (the opposite of what I did). I hope this made sense 😝

massively underrated video!!! the nail polish drawer insert is a game changer

Honestly, the easiest way to extend the drawers is to just remove the two screws inside the drawers attaching them to the tracks. You have to be careful pulling the drawers out and I wouldn't advise putting anything heavy in them but it won't lock the drawers in to only go out so far.

This video is VERY underrated! Thank you so much 🙏🙏❤️

WOW! thank you for your great solution!

I had already thought of the idea using foam board but I'm really excited to extend the drawer opening! I love customizing my own stuff. I find it very satisfying and also have to try and remain patient! Thank you so much!

Thank you, Ada I been searching on how to do mine. I built custom coffee tables. The one I'm working on is $6,590.00. This does help finish my order.

I love this. I did a drawer and put white duct tape to make the tops look more finished and when it gets dirty I can wipe it down. Thanks.

Great idea

nice trick. a bit of an improvement i made was rather than just using one side of the bearings, use both by cutting the middle section out and keep the two ends, added bonus you can use 3.6mm zip ties to keep the parts together. itll be stronger too

You could mark arrows and numbers on the pieces of the tracks with a Sharpie. You could also use white electrical tape on the exposed edges of the boards to give them a clean finish.

The alex drawers can you put legs on them, could I also pit handles on them even with the dip or would it look weird

I did it, quite fast actually. Tho it's a pity the drawer stays a bit clumsy. In that regard a proper full-extension slider would do the job neatly.

Wow! This is something I want done but I am not wanting to do all this work. Lol

Can you tell the inside height of those drawers? Also how has that hack lasted? Are the drawers still working well?

Does this change make it so that the drawers fall back further as well? They don’t naturally line up to the frame of the furniture piece.

Thank you for the video. I don’t know if I’m brave enough or energetic enough to try this. 😂 No judging from me about your amount of polishes. I have about 3050 😂 indie polishes (independent polish brands like Polished For Days, KbShimmer, Kathleen & Co. Wildflower Lacquer.) I store them in 6 five drawer Alex’s and one 9 drawer. The 9 drawer Alex is the only one that had to put those screws in. The others don’t have the screws in that holds the drawer to the side railings. (last step in the directions.)

It is easier and more stable to just not put the screws in that hold the drawer to the slide.

Thank you,!

READ BEFORE_had same issue, figured out how to do this in 1/4th the time 01_Identify the drawers that do not extend out all the way, remove these drawers from the rails only 02_There are two rails, one which attaches to the drawer and the second one attached to the wall > you'll need to PULL gently on the DRAWER RAIL while simultaneously LIFTING the DRAWER RAIL all the way from the back, ( strength and action req equivalent to opening a hard-to-open soda can? this should not feel like youre going to break a nail off) While doing these two actions simultaneously the DRAWER RAIL will start slowly extend out to its maximum, Done 03_Now just need to put back all the drawers and DONE I did this for my ALEX Drawers unit within 20 mins using only a normal screw driver someone with little to no experience can do this as well

which part of eastern europe are you from?

Is your drawers wobbly after?
