Wow. Square knobs on those drawers look like they could be very painful to hit your ankles against. Have they proven to be a problem?

I initially thought so myself, but it's not been a problem. This is my son's (age 7yr) bed and he has not complained about hitting his ankles on the drawer knobs. You can also decide not to install the knobs and you'll still be able to open the drawers easily

My son hasn't complained about hitting his ankles or feet on them.Maybe they can be replaces with something more rounder?

Not as painful as the edges of the bed. I've got a few cuts and scrapes from them

Actually, I have scraped my calves against the edges of the knobs. It probably has more it do with the layout of the rest of my furniture though (I have a table right next to the side of the bed, making a narrow walkway).

I tried the drawers again, pretending my nails were long. You would have to grip the handle at an angle with your finger. If the drawer was heavy, it could be difficult. If its light, then it depends on the angle of the grip. I would say chance of a nail breaking are high.

I am not pleased with mine. I guess it got damaged during shipment, and the legs are lightly bent what makes it unstable in the floor. I have solved the problem putting my ankles weights on top of the legs.

I bought this item, and they were so high, it hurt my back to sit on them. I tried to get used to them, but I found myself picking them up to sit on the hard wood. Other than that, they are very nice.

That is somewhat subjective...but I'm satisfied with the way the drawers open and close. I haven't had them torque to one side or bind up when closing them. But I generally use the center of the drawer when closing a drawer. There is some play, but nothing that has caused a problem. And they stay shut when you close them. The doors on the cabinets have quite a bit more play, particularly the tall cabinet, but I haven't had an issue getting it shut and locked.

You possibly could be the drawers are very small. If you put some baskets inside it might work ok. It is a beautiful unit though if will work for your space.

Sorry, I sold the piece on which I used them, but cabinet screws are a standard size (these were standard) so you should be OK. If the screws are too wide, just drill a slightly larger hole. If they are too small, the knob itself will cover the hole on the front, use a washer on the back if needed (unlikely) and make sure the knobs are screwed down nice and snug. Length is more what you have to be concerned about because of the variability of the drawer/cabinet thickness. But that's a problem that can be easily solved by buying longer (or shorter) screws. Most knobs come with longer screws that "snap" off these days. Can't remember what came with these.

No, I'm 5'9" and my head hits the rail. And yes the banging drawers are loud and annoying. I would also recommend attaching bottom drawers with a screw, they don't stay in place. Still better than paying $1500 at a furniture store.

I noticed when putting together the drawers, you need to be careful when aligning the face of the drawer when you put it together. It's easy for them to be misaligned and when that happens, the drawers won't slide in right.

My question as well because I purchased the other brand and they have a little "nub" for lack of a better word, that keeps them from laying flush against the drawer. This caused the pull to stick out from the drawer and looks tacky.

no they are fine,I thought that might be a problem as well but it is fine. Haven't have any problems with scrapes /scratches.Although the bottom of the drawers are thin,just don't over pack them with heavy stuff and you'll be fine.

I threw both of mine away for the same reason. I think I posted a negative review for the product for that reason. It seems like the drawers are sprung.

It is my opinion that you would find these drawers to be about the same as you described. Mine are not all that sturdy & wobble when opening & closing. I bought them because they were only $20 & I got just that, a cheap set of drawers.

I think the drawer will be fine. It fits loosely. Although, I would finish it appropriately.

Seriously? I'm not sure what would cause a person to ask this question. What damage could it possibly do? It's well made with sturdy material that holds your silverware. Mine is in my handmade cabinets. Hasn't damaged a thing. Put an anti slip mat under it if your so concerned.

I think they are little big for drawers. I ended up using round knobs in similar material.

Yes! I had trouble with the drawers. They did not align at all. I bought the side filing cabinet and it has a different system. I just have the drawers set in.
