Also: Take your time when installing the dowels and use a hammer gently to avoid damaging the wooden dowels. That’s a great tip. I’m curious if anyone has ever had issues with the drawer fronts? Especially regarding their alignment – are there common mistakes people make, or tips on how to adjust the fronts optimally?

A common mistake is to screw them in too quickly and too tightly without first aligning the fronts. This can easily cause the fronts to become misaligned and appear crooked. Work in small steps and check with a spirit level or straight edge. Important: Although the hinges are sturdy, they only allow for limited readjustment.

It’s important to use the correct screws when installing the drawer slides; otherwise, they won’t hold firmly enough. Additionally, after inserting the drawer, gently press the front into position before tightening the adjustment screws. Keep in mind that the fronts are delicate – avoid applying too much force to prevent scratches.
