Hello everyone,
Some time ago, I assembled several IKEA Besta drawers and noticed that opening and closing them is not very smooth and can sometimes be quite noisy. This bothers me a lot, especially when I’m looking for something in the drawers at night.
I’m interested in learning about any tips, tricks, or improvements you can recommend to make IKEA Besta drawers operate more smoothly and, above all, more quietly. I’m curious about simple adjustments as well as minor modifications or alternative materials that could help improve the running quality.
Any advice on experiences with installing damping systems, different drawer slides, or lubricants is also welcome.
Thanks in advance for your tips!

Additional notes:
- It is also important to consider the load on the drawers. Overloaded drawers increase friction and wear out the drawer slides more quickly.
- Individual components should not be overloaded or stored inside to extend their lifespan.
- Furthermore, it is recommended to remove, clean, and maintain the drawers regularly (every 12-18 months) to ensure consistently smooth and quiet operation.
