VADANIA 350mm Soft Close Drawer Runners #F45, 1 Pair

Excellent value thought I would have to replace my drawers at a cost of over £100 but with this product my old drawer is as good as new for a lot less money. My drawer can now be closed smoothly and quietly. These slides kit are extremely good value, well made and heavy, which makes me confident for heavy load. The black color makes it disappear from the drawer. Very satisfied! I would definitely buy again if needed.

- Just the job for replacing old runners on a heavy cutlery drawer; both smooth AND sturdy. - Comes without installation instruction. These are available from the manufacturer’s web site, as too a promo video. All very green and commendable, but my professional handyperson thought these were no real use, except to indicate how to separate the parts for installation. - To fit to existing drawer requires absolute accuracy in measuring. - Anyhow, with the proper help to instal these, I am very pleased with the result.

Firstly, they are expensive for a set of slide extension rails. Could easily be cheaper. Install of the side rails easy enough, just maintain level and you’re good. The issue is that they provide 12mm as the depth but having trimmed the shelf board to 24mm narrow it still didn’t fit. Was closer to 13mm and this was still quite tight. Good enough and soft close is nice, they carry a PC base unit in and out of its desk space for ease of cleaning. As above, could be cheaper for what they are.

I'm not going to explain how to fit these because one assumes that if you are looking at them you will already have a pretty good idea of this kind of thing. What I can say is that they are well made, robust and the soft close action works very well for that 'premium' feel. These are of course the type of rail that is side mounted to the drawer not under or corner mounted so you do have a fair bit of leeway where you fit them. Overall superior soft close draw runners.

Used them to revive my old 70s Snap on tool box works great 👍

These are OK and you need to be careful when installing as the sliders run on exposed bearings held in place by delicate strips of metal. If you have a fiddly , heavy handed, instal then the metal strips can be damaged and your drawer slide ruined. There is also a pin that sticks out to activate the soft close. For some reason this stuck out too much after several refits to align properly and prevented the drawer from closing. It's an OK product but would go for something that has sealed or protected runner bearings.

I recently ordered 10 sets. They were reasonably easy to install. Initially very pleased. Recently the soft close feature on one of the runners failed. I contacted Vandania the reply was courteous but they refused to consider replacing the runner or offer any recompense.I realise the 3 mth "warranty" period has expired but you would expect a runner to last more 6 mths. This morning the soft close feature on another runner has failed. So it is your decision to BUY OR NOT. From my experience I would decide NOT.

Heavy, well made, not installed yet but initially looks like they will work very well. No screws in the packet, on the website it says they should be included ?
