Default Adding Drawer Slides To A Old Hutch?

Any suggestions for upgrading these drawers would be appreciated. Thanks!


I realize that most people these days can't imagine a drawer without a
mechanical slide. I'm not among them. If it were me, I would...

1. Pack out the drawer spaces so that it was only 1/16 more than drawer
width rather than 1/4".

2. Apply "slick tape" to the cabinet members upon which the drawers ride.

There are also drawer rollers in myriad styles which can be easily attached
to drawers and/or carcase.
