Anyone able to post a picture of the back of this slide? What the steps look like? Thanks.

Hi J, This is Reginald with Octo-Prime. I have just uploaded 2 extra pictures showing the top and back of the slide. Thanks for helping to improve our listing.

Slide is simulated and non-functioning. It does NOT move and there is NO blowback. It is a good low-priced option with food fps, however, recently mine has had issues with the co2 leaking.

I think that the picture is a good illustration of how far the slides extend. They don't quite extend 100%, but it is a little more than 3/4. Also, you can mount the base closer to the cabinet door to get it to extend farther out.

The slide is spiraled so I'm not sure length pieces would be that helpful. I think the manufacturer has lots of measurement info on their site that might be helpful.

Two slides required. One on each side. I recommend mounting slides near the lower edge of the side of the box, but if the box is strong/stiff enough, you could mount it higher.

I purchased the slide at a discounted price at the end of last summer and it has been stored ever since. Will try to dig it out and check. These slides are a blast, but unfortunately NEVER last very long.

The front ledge of the rear sight is sloped. If you anticipate the need to rack the slide by using the ledge of the rear sight, you may want to look for something different. As far as sights go, I am very pleased with the quality and ease of acquisition.

I am so glad I saw your question as I have the same issue. I could only use the slide if it will empty to the right. Have you found out if a right side one is available or if this one can be modified? Thanks

It's 30x32. Do a google search for the slide and you can download the a pdf of the exact instruction manual that includes all dimensions. I did this before purchasing to be absolutely certain it would fit in our space (we have it mounted on our back deck).

I do not have pictures but assembly is very simple. There are four L-brackets that attach to the slides and are then screwed to the underside of your work surface. It took me all of five minutes to complete my installation.

Measurements are roughly 4 feet long, 3 feet tall. We also have it in our living room and gets tons of use. It is about the size of a large recliner chair. Regarding the "footprint" or impact this slide will have on the environment; It is a big chunk of plastic, so sadly, not good. I'd recommend checking into finding a clean used climber. They are all pretty sturdy and this particular climber will be great for many years after my child outgrows it. That may be one way to help with the slide's footprint. ;)

These are side mount slides. Installation instructions come with the slides.

There is a series of steps and I no longer have my instruction brochure. Customer service is exceptional. I would suggest you contact them. I had a few issues (my fault) and they helped me very patiently all the way through. I hope this helps.

I constructed a 30" X 30" box platform on the ground 8" high, out of P.T. 2X6 and using 1" decking as surface. Then I fastened the bottom of the slide to the outer edge with 4 deck screws through washers, running the platform under the slide and created a 7" step-down to the ground. It works fine. I bulked up the ground around it with cypress mulch for a landing. You could use 2X4 for a shorter drop at the end. Too bad I can't draw it for you.

I just looked at mine. The only suggestions I have are: Is the track that guides the tray in bent? Are the little balls that ride in the tracks sliding within the tracks properly? Other than that, I don't know what it could be.

I had a similar issue, and I wouldn't call it terrible, but there was definitely a wobble perpendicular to the track/rail. Tightening the bearing to the point that sliding movement is slower solved the issue though. Have you checked the bearings themselves? Is there a rust spot forming that might be making this movement?
