Hello everyone, I have a specific question about my Ikea Metod kitchen: For some time now, one of the drawers has become quite loose, noticeable by wobbling and slight play when pulling it out. The drawer doesn’t stick, but it no longer slides as smoothly as it did initially. I suspect that the drawer slides are not engaging properly anymore or perhaps a screw is loose. However, I would like to fix the problem permanently without having to replace the entire drawer. Does anyone have experience with issues like this, especially with Metod drawers, and can offer advice on how to restore the drawer’s stability effectively and permanently? A guide on checking the mechanism and useful repair steps would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hey, just wanted to say again: You handled it perfectly! The wood glue method and tightening really is the magic formula. Soon the drawer will work like it did on the first day! 🎉
