The KV8500 slides were indeed very heavy duty and up to the task.
I have some reservations about the plastic parts on them, but I'll
hold off judgment until I get called back because one of them
broke. :-) The jury is also still out on the soft-close adapters
but they seem to function well. Time will tell.


I am glad you like them. The client with the picture of the floating
drawer was in touch with me this week and he told me that it is still
in perfect alignment and working as designed, even on full extension.
I was trying to remember back a few decades when KV was about the
only drawer slides readily available in small quantities, and it
seems to me even back in the 70's they had plastic parts. They were
white plastic stops on the rear end of the slide and black plastic on
the front. Couldn't say for sure, but I can say I would seriously
doubt you will have any problems with those slides.


Good to hear!
I told them I'd stand by my work and the slides had a 15 year
manufacture warranty.


Good on 'ya for the good work and excellent review. Nothing sells
more work like a happy client, and no doubt you deserved the pat on
the back!
