Default Anyone use these soft close drawer adapters?

Is the drawer bottom supported on all four sides? The problem that
usually happens with a too-light drawer bottom in the usual design where
it slides in from the back and is only supported on three sides is that
it bows and then slips out of the dadoes on the sides.


I use either 1/4" crown staples, or appropriately sized screws and
washers, or both on wider drawers, into the bottom edge of the drawer
back to mitigate that greatly

If you need more, simple to screw a support across the same area.

Easily replaceable drawer bottoms can be thought of as a "feature", and
will stand the test of time if executed properly, and it's easy to do that.
