Has anyone else had issues getting the drawers out so that the legs can be put on?

I was thinking there would be a way to put the legs on without removing the cardboard panels covering the bottom of the drawers. Once we removed those & the drawer stops, it was smooth sailing.

I haven't had a problem with that issue, but if you are unsure then go ahead and glue them on. If you intend to pick the unit up a lot and the legs are not tight, then glue would work for you. I don't have a need to pick mine up all that often but when I do I make sure the legs are OK before lifting too high.

Yes, the legs go into the wood in order for the handles to be flush with the drawer. I was worried I would have to drill larger holes, but it ended up not being necessary. Good luck, hope this helps.

I had the same issue, but I don't remember how I eventually got them out. See if there is something that needs to be pushed up on the bottom or if the drawer needs to be raised up to be taken out. There was a trick to it--I remember that.

I can think of three possibilities. One would be obvious, if you pull the drawer baskets too far out they will fall. The second more likely reason is that the unit is not assembled tightly. It is very important that each of the connectors at the corners of the frame are inserted completely into the frame pieces. We have a total of 10 of these units and I used a hammer to get each one completely assembled. This makes the width of the unit minimal which will allow the baskets to slide in the tracks. The inside of the opposing tracks should only be about 1/8 inch wider than the basket and they will stay in place. The final possibility that I can think of would be that your side supports are bowed out for some reason. If you lay them on the floor they should be flat. If they are bowed out in the middle the drawers would fall out. Depending on how bad the bowing might be you should be able to straighten them out and they should work fine. Hope this helps.

We ended up drilling new holes. Lame. But I think after doing it we found that if we'd arranged the pieces differently we wouldn't have had to. The pieces aren't labeled well, but if you play around with it a bit you can find how it fits! On the plus side, we've had this dresser for three years now and it's still standing tall. Good luck!

Should be common sense..close them first. I purposely do that, the top is always closed on mine, but I opened it, pulled the drawers out, closed the top, the pushed the drawers closed, thus I can access the drawers without having to open the top first.

The drawer cannot be completely removed unless you take the screws back out.

Im guessing you assembled the front of the drawer upside down. I did the same thing on one of my and the drawer would not close all the way. It would hit the bottom lip of the stand. Hope this helps.

I ran into the same issue. After I got the rest of it tightened, I laid the whole thing down horizontally, undid the screws that were holding those two L & R legs, made sure the leg pieces were then flush, and put the screws back in. This time, with the whole thing horizontal, it was much easier to screw the screws/bolts together. And I had to get it SUPER tight before it wasn't wobbly. But it did eventually work great. Hope this helps!

I had the same problem at the beginning, it does takes a little more strength than I expected but I just pull it out strong enough until it snaps off, I try it to contain the whole thing with my body (unless it has touched something nasty). Most of the time the legs snap out completely and I just pop them back in.

Hi, I have never had a problem with mine, but on each end there may be a clip that if you put your fingernail under the far end and pull out it will release.Other than that, Other than that, I can only suggest that there is a strong détente that can be overcome by pulling on it with a little more force. It may be that you will have to remove it and inspect the slides and make sure that they are truly free and work back and forth. I think it is possible that if there was a little misalignment when it was installed that it might be hard to slide the drawer back and forth. It may be necessary to fill and redrill a hole or two to correct alignment. Hope this helps you, Kathy. Peace.

If you can take the drawer out and have enough clearance to set the latch inside the frame, you could put the locking mechanism in the drawer and reinstall it. If you can't remove the drawer, these unfortunately might not be the solution you're looking for.

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.

I saw those issues posted too. I got mine anyway and did not have that problem. I love mine. Love! The legs have very shallow holes though. And anytime I move any piece, I move it with care. (someone lifting on both ends). Just in case I also put 3m soft stickers on the bottom of the legs as it is on hard wood floors and now if they get slid a bit one way or another I dont worry about having as much pressure on the legs.

The legs are completely separate fromthe drawers. It's not a problem at all.

Yes indeed. I am finally getting around to stocking my parts drawers and, although the stops work well, I can easily remove the drawers by tilting up and replacing them in the same way. Good luck.
