Friho 10 Pair Hardware Ball Bearing Side Mount Drawer Slides

I first bought 10 pairs 14" long to build a custom storage unit. The drawers are wide (26") and hold roughly 30-40 pounds each. These slides handle this just fine. There is a bit of side to side sway on full extension but well within my acceptability limits. I bought another set of 10 to complete an 8 foot long storage unit which also sees quite a heavy load. Again, no issues. My final opinion- they have unbeatable price/quality point.I used 14 pairs - no issues with any of them.If you are not careful when you re-attach the drawers after unclipping them, make sure that you don't accidently catch the end of the roller ball cage as this will deform them and potentially release the ball bearings. If you find the drawers hard to slide after installation, most likely your drawer is slightly too wide - user error!If when you slide the drawer back after re-clipping the slide in, you find the drawers don't slide all the way back, just press harder and force the drawer all the way back. This will get the ball-bearing carriage into the correct position, after which the drawer will slide normally. This is only necessary sometimes if you unclip the drawer to remove it.Oh, and screws are included. They are 1/2" particle board screws which works fine for 1/2" drawer boxes. The plywood I used was only 0.4" (10mm ply) and the screw length was marginally long and did break through on some boxes. Again, user error.

I've used these before and will continue to. They've always worked well for me in the past and there affordable for large projects.

Seems ok but will not hold a heavy drawer

I really only needed 6 pairs of these, but it was cheaper to buy 10, than to buy the exact number needed from anywhere else. Overall, I would say I am happy with these. I I stalled another brand recently on my daughter’s dresser, and these seem pretty similar to those. That being said, I am glad I had extra ones. Two of them had ball bearings fall out of them, when I was trying to install them. This may have been partially my own fault, but still was just surprised at how easily they broke. One, was already broken before I touched it. Basically the release mechanism that allows the two parts of the slide to separate, was initially not working to release, and once it did release, the whole mechanism fell off. Appeared to be a bad rivet maybe. We will see how they hold up over time, but right now I am satisfied with them. Docking a star, simply because of the one broken one, and the others that easily broke during install. Still think they are worth the money though, especially if you need this many.

These were as I expected. Wook good

I have been a carpenter by trade for 30+ years. I also spend quite a bit of my time in my wood shop on various projects. So I am fairly familiar with different types of drawer glides. If you have ever used side mount full ext slides in the past, then there will be no surprises here. The only surprise I had was how well these worked and how well they seem to be built, considering their low price. What I paid for a box of ten,18" slides would usually yield me 2-3 pairs from a big-box store. I ordered them on Saturday evening and they arrived by 1:00pm Monday, a day earlier than originally told. Used 6 pairs on a bath vanity. Have removed and reinserted drawers from track multiple times and never any problems as others have stated. Bearings all stay in place. Work as smoothly as any other side mount, full ext slider. Definitely not as smooth as a Blum undermount, but that's not even comparing apples to apples. Will likely be purchasing again for future projects.

First of all let me say that I do not EVER review products that I receive from Amazon or elsewhere. I am merely doing this one because when I went to purchase drawer slides, I relied solely on the reviews of others so I want to return the favor....so anyway, these aren't bad! I built an 11 drawer, a 5 drawer dresser, and two nightstands with these and while they were not terrible, I would not give them a 4+ rating because one of the drawers on my dresser just keeps sliding out on its own. Its the most weird thing to see but we deal with it because the cost was a steal. It’s definitely a quality issue rather than the dresser being uneven (checked for that) and it should definitely be taken a look at. Also, after having them for about a month and a half, I can say that I like how easy they are to slide in and out but again, it doesn't make any sense that this one drawer keeps falling out!!1/8/19 Update: Friho contacted me about my issue with their product. They’re representative was very accommodating and offered to send me a replacement set to overcompensate for the “randomly sliding out” issue in exchange for a positive review. That’s amazing customer service! It’s clear they stand behind the quality of their products. I would definitely buy from them in the future! It’d be great if all vendors were this responsive! Thanks Andy!

Very good, thanks

great slides
