How to Remove a Drawer with Metal Glides 

Oh my god, this woman is heaven sent. I had been struggling with the drawer for about an hour i was about to give up so i decided to check out youtube. I couldn't believe how easy it came off after i watched this, thank you

This was done 8 years ago but you are saving lives 8 years later!! Thank you

Was about to destroy my drawer then saw this video,Thank you!

9 years later and this video just saved me hours of work in furniture disassembly!

Omg! I’ve had this furniture for two years! And just assumed the drawers don’t come out but today I just thought there is no way, so I did some google searching and I am so grateful!!! Thank you

I’ve had three sets of movers curse me because of a large dresser that I could never figure out how to remove the drawers - this is brilliant! Thank you!!!

You are a godsend. Thank you for this. I’ve only had this furniture for 3 years I thought it was ruined. I’ve been sitting here with this drawer open for 2 weeks. It took me 5 minutes to pull out the clothes which were stuck under the drawer thanks to your instructions😁

Thank you! My whole bedroom set has these drawers and I just thought it was something that could not be done. I was finally able to get behind the drawer and clean out some missing items

This is what we call an oldie but goodie. Girl you're the best even after all these years! Thank you!

10 years later and still helping people 🎉. I was almost down to having to just break the drawer off because my passport had fell behind to the bottom. This helped me out so much. Thank you!

Thanks to your phenomenal video, Rhett McLaughlin and his wife, Jessie McLaughlin, were able to get Jessie's earring out from behind their dresser! Bless you! :D

You saved my drawer. A very important file fell behind one of my drawer and I couldn't figure out how to remove the drawer to get my file without ruining the drawer. I tried removing my drawer after watching your video, and yes! I got my file👍 Thanks for posting such a useful video.

My cat got behind a drawer and I struggled and struggled as she was scared and trapped. I was about to destroy this nice piece of furniture when I decided to check You Tube and this woman saved my cat plus dresser. No instructions came with the dresser and this lady is my ANGEL! Thank you.

Good Mythical Morning, Discoverfurniture! :D

5 years that drawer has had stuff stuck behind it and wouldn’t close all the way. This video showed me how to remove it and get all that stuff behind the drawer. Thank you so much!

THANK YOU! I was about to lose it trying to remove my dresser drawer after some clothing blocked it from fully closing all the way. Also I feel relieved that I am far from the only one who has struggled with these types of drawers.

Bless you woman! This drawer would not close for a week and I was going insane! My husband didn't think there would be any info on an obscure coffee table drawer. You were the first video that popped up. Thank you!

Thank you. This was the only video that explained correctly how to do it. Bang zoom. Drawers out. Bippity bop. Drawers back in.

This was extremely helpful. Thanks! I think if you added some lighting that would've made the lever more visible but I figured it out.

Thank you! I am an engineer and I thought I would look on RU-vid before reverse engineering how to remove my nightstand draws. Great job in explaining how to do that.

Excellent! I tried off and on for months to figure out how an Ashley bar cabinet's top drawer could be removed! This made it so simple. I couldn't see those levers until you pointed them out! Thanks so much!

Didn't realize that left side went up and right side went down. I would have never figured that out on my own....and surely would have broken the whole drawer. Thank You!!

You gotta be joking me. ITS THIS SIMPLE! I spent 30 minutes trying to get a empty bad of chips out from behind my drawer and almost got my hand stuck! Thank the lord for this video!

Found your channel through Good Mythical More today. Merry Christmas!!

VERY helpful! I am glad I checked RU-vid instead of ripping the drawer apart 😬

Thanks a million. I saw the levers originally, but was pulling up on both sides. Got frustrated, went to RU-vid, you saved the day!

Very helpful! It worked! I was struggling with this drawer for about an hour and finally looked it up! I didn't think it would work since my desk is different, but it seems pretty universal! Thanks

Oh Thank God! My cat got stuck behind the drawers and I have been trying to get her out, and thought I would have to destroy the dresser. It was so easy once I knew the trick! Thank you!!!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to post this! I had no idea how to remove those drawers and now I do!

Straight forward and what made it easy to follow is demonstrating what this confident lady is saying! Thank you!

Thanks so much!! You saved my naughty kitty who got behind the draws and couldn't get back out 😂

Thank you thank you thank you. I couldn't reach something that fell behind it and I almost broke those tabs off trying to yank it out until I saw your video. What a life saver!

I did not come from GMM - I just wanted to get the drawers out of a dresser. I finally succeeded thanks to this video. (This was not the first video I consulted.) Thank you!

THANK YOU for this!!! After losing a favorite shirt behind a dresser drawer I thought I’d never see it again. Favorite shirt is saved and lives to see another day!

I do not know who you are but GOD BLESS YOU,. All of the videos that I have watched online and No One, NO ONE has explained and brought the camera in close enough to see the levers. I have been trying off and on for 3 weeks to remove these extremely, extremely heavy drawers from all of this bedroom furniture....YOU JUST DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH I NEEDED TO FIND YOUR VIDEO...You have a new subscriber. Thank you again

thanks for helping Rhett's wife find her ear ring

Thanks! Stared at my desk for 30 minutes before thinking of a how-to search on youtube... Found video in seconds and a few seconds later the first drawer was out. So simple but so helpful... Thanks again!

great video that actually showed me within 50 seconds how to solve my problem

10 years ago and you're still saving people!

You are a savior. I got this huge, clunky desk from Pottery Barn about 13 years ago. It was dangerous how my girlfriend and I moved it. It was heavy to begin with, but we couldn't figure out how to remove ANY drawers. About 3 weeks ago, a middle drawer was stuff with cards, etc., and some fell out behind the drawer and downward. When I opened the drawer below it, a filing drawer, the stuff fell behind it. In the designers wisdom, he chose to permanently cover the underside of the desk below the filing draw. I've struggled to figure out how to get it out. THANK YOU SO MUCH! My desk is in tact thanks to you.

Oh my gosh! You saved my life! My passport fell out the back and I couldn't work out the way to remove the drawer. Bless you! 🙏

thank you for helping Jesse McLaughlin find her earing we all appreciate you

Thank you! That's exactly what I needed to know, clearly and succinctly stated. The video make it perfectly clear.

This came up as the number one result on a google search for this problem, thank you for showing how easy the solution is, saved lots of hours of frustration!

nothing like a 9 year old video to come to the rescue, exactly what I needed. Thanks!

Thank you very much. Ive spend too much time wondering how to do this and finally got the bright idea to search youtube. Thanks for being there!

As everyone else said, great vid! Thanks for the help, was not gonna find those levers myself. Thought I was gonna have to unscrew the whole glide system.

OMG Thank-you!!! We had no idea how to get the drawers out, we were struggling to move our heavy dresser. Your the Best!!!!

Thanks for being your mythical best!

GMM! Thanks for helping Rhett!

I was driving myself crazy until I saw this. Thank you soooo much!

Thank you! Solved a months long problem quickly by learning how to remove the drawer.

Super helpful! Thank you so much. My alarm on my phone was going off inside the drawer. You are a sanity saver!

Thank you so much for this! I’ve been trying to pull out these drawers for a year b.c some clothes fell on the bottom.

Thanks! How would I ever have guessed that the mechanisms would operate opposite each other?! Why?! But you saved the day. Thank you!!

Thank you for posting this!!!!! I could not figure it out to save my life.

OMG was about to cry trying to get a drawer out! Thank you for this!!

This literally saved my life today! I have bedroom drawers wth theses glides thinking I was gonna have to break the drawer 🤦🏾‍♂️.. thank you so much!!!

Thank you so much!! I never would have figured this out without your video!!

very helpful! these are always so easy to put together when you get them new but trying to remember how to get them out 10 years later when you are redoing your house is tough. knew I'd find a video on youtube!

I'am assembling a writing desk and I was about to destroy it in panic after trying the slides. Thank you very much, Gob bless your heart!!!!

You just saved me so much unnecessary time and frustration. Thank you!

I can't begin to thank you for doing this video. My furniture is out of warranty. The furniture co. made it seem like it was a huge problem. THANK YOU! THANK YOU!! My drawer wouldn't close...bras blocked it from closing. I followed your video and WA LA!!! ❣️❣️

Discoverfurniture, you're a life saver.

Thanks for helping Rhett's wife find her earring!

Thank you so much for this video, it is so helpful! I am now able to pull out my dresser drawer and retrieve all of my small clothing items that fell down the bottom drawer.

You saved my life . Thank u . I was so confused how to open . It is just easy one after I watched ur video . 🙏🏽

I was planning to break my drawer from behind to pick something that got stuck in it and after watching 1 minute of your video all it took me is 10 second and a small pull. Also, my family has accepted my engineering skills, credit goes to you.

Thank you! Was going to give up but this video saved me and the drawer. Lol

Was literally about to break into my draw before I saw your video. Thank you so much. 🙏🏻

Thank you. A whole bunch of plastic bags got stuck behind my kitchen drawer near the dishwasher and potential electric outlets?? I thought it might be a potential fire hazard. You may truly be a life saver :)

Rhett and Link sent me here!!!!

This video helped Rhett and his wife! #GMM

OMG THAT WAS SO HELPFUL!!! I WAS HAVING A HORRIBLE TIME TRYING TO FIG IT OUT. TY

OMG!!!!! I just wanted to say thank you! I just bought a new manicure table and the drawers have these slide brackets....you just my life sooooo much easier. Thanks for the video..

Thank you so much for making this so concise! I've been trying to figure out my drawers for 3 days now.

i have a chest of drawers in my dorm room and somehow a folder of important personal documents got stuck behind the drawers and i couldnt get them out. you have saved my entire life... godspeed

THANK YOU! I found old undergarments that I thought I lost months ago! 😅

Thanks a lot! I was about to spend few bucks for the carpenter job before I saw this. Really helpful!

Hey thanks! I was going nuts trying to figure out how to remove my drawer. My levers were REALLY small, but I finally found it. Dawes slid right out and back in again. Fine, custom built furniture and had to use a very delicate touch with the levers.

Thank you so much!! This is the 2nd time I’ve used this video to retrieve something from behind a drawer. So informative and quick 😁

Thank you so much!! I’ve been struggling with my dresser drawer for a half hour. You made this so easy!

I wish I could like a video a million times!!!!!! Thank you!!!!💜💜

I was seconds away from ripping the drawers apart. Thank you so much!!

Thank you so much for helping me not destroy my nightstand!!! You were a lifesaver tonight! Lol and smh at how simple that was! :)

This video is fantastic! What a public service. I have a very dumb cat who somehow entered my dresser and could not get out at 1:30am. I could not figure out how to remove the drawer after removing the screws from the slide mechanism. Thank you so much for this video!

Thanks a lot for this useful video. I was about to break my driver, but your video helped me a lot.

Omg I lost my favorite pants behind a drawer and you literally saved me my sanity 😂 thank you!
