Default Simple drawer glides - is this a bad design?

That's easily solved. Either by runners in the middle of the drawer
sides (which can easily be sacrificial) running in a groove, or by a
kicker above the drawer.

Thanks for your advice, everybody.


If you want to keep them from being pulled out but still removeable, extend
a portion of the back upwards so it will hit the horizontal stop in the
frame when the drawer is all the way forward, then round over the bottom
edge of the back, including the sides where they meet the back. Remove the
drawer by lifting the front up until the extended back clears the stop.

I don't like them but they used to make - probably still do - little plastic
rollers for drawers like this. A pair of rollers was attached to the frame
at the front so the drawer sides rolled on them, another pair on the drawer
at the top back corners so that as the drawer was extended and tipped, those
rollers contacted the "kick" and rolled on it.

Same concept, but even simpler, quicker and easier way to insure a
drawer pulls out only as far as you want it to:

To pull the drawer all the way out, simply reach in and turn the drawer
stop a quarter turn.
