Hello everyone, I have a question regarding my Ikea Besta drawers. I noticed that they are quite noisy when opening and closing, which can be annoying over time, especially in quiet environments. Also, I would prefer a slightly smoother and easier operation. I’m wondering what options or tricks are available to significantly reduce the noise and make the mechanism run more smoothly. Are there any proven tips, modifications, or special materials I could use without compromising functionality or damaging the drawer construction? I look forward to your advice and experiences.
Another tip: If the drawer slides are older or low quality, it’s worth replacing them with better drawer runners. These often operate more quietly and smoothly, especially if they are fully extendable and have soft-close features. Of course, this involves some cost, but it provides much more comfort in the long run.

It is important to take precise measurements because replacement models do not always fit exactly. Additionally, you should pay attention to quality and load capacity. Unlike cheap sprays, high-quality components provide a long-lasting solution against noise and stiff operation.
