Hello,

I bought a Hemnes dresser with 6 drawers. The 2 smaller top drawers slide in without any problem, but the larger drawers do not fit properly into the rails. It looks like the drawers were built too narrow, as they fall out of the rails.
There was already a discussion on this topic, but unfortunately the person did not share the solution to their problem.

Can anyone help me???

Thank you in advance.

I would loosen the screws of the slides on the drawers, insert thin cardboard or similar material between the slide and the drawer, and then tighten the screws again. Also, check if there are any gaps between the horizontal and vertical frame supports. If necessary, tap the parts together and tighten the cam locks securely.

Make sure the slides are installed correctly as well. In the cabinet body, the rollers should be at the front bottom, and on the drawer, at the back.
