Default Center undermount drawer slides impressions...

Follow-up on the previous discussion finding slides to fit existing
drawers w/ a better feel than the old roller glides lacking drawer depth
for the Blum or similar undermounts...

Installed one drawer as a trial that is one of smaller but has a decent
amount of stuff...didn't weigh it specifically, but it is certainly
under the 35# slide rating.

Installation is pretty trivial, the depth of the drawer bottom was just
a little deeper than the 1/4" spec; a couple of the plastic bread bag
push-style clips were just right as shim stock. The two nylon support
glides are unobtrusive and no rocking is evident.

Installed, the drawer is stable, the pull firm but not hard. The
extension is just a fraction of an inch less than the previous which is
the one thing that they just can't do--full extension is out,
unfortunately. The "feel" is obviously not as luxurious as the
high-price spread, but after about two weeks I've judged them adequate
and will be going ahead w/ the plan.

Given another suitable application I'd not hesitate to recommend them
elsewhere. Oh, these are the KV 1129 series, btw.
