    blum drawer issues

    thanks for your reply Tiddle. I don't know I thought they would be supported by the rail and remain flat across the length. they are only small drawers 250mm long and so far I haven't put any weight in them. When I measure from a flat surface up to the bottom of the drawer sides at both ends...

    blum drawer issues

    Hi Custard. Thanks for your response, I mean that when the drawer is fully extended the front of the drawer is lower then the back. when viewed from the side the drawer does not appear level with the cabinet carcass. I'm sure both sides are the drawer are level.

    Lifting heavy Planer/Thicknesser up 3 flights of stairs

    haha a good idea, noise isn't really a concern. various machines are running there throughout the day without a sensitive neighbour close by.
