IOW, it is good practice to decide upon and buy your slides _before_ you

drawer dimensions in the spec sheet.

Oh my, oh my.

The voice of experience is being heard there, eh?

I am gun shy enough the last time I actually made a cabinet with a
couple of drawers in it I bought the slides and built a test drawer
and opening.

Once bitten, twice shy.

Yep ... the shop dummy here once made a half dozen nice dovetail drawers and
I ended up having to cut them down in height by 5/8" just to get them to
work with the already purchased, expensive, under mount slides.

Helluva way to treat dovetails ...

Tried to fire the SOB, but every time I looked in the mirror, there he was
again.
