A slide drawer (or glide/runner drawer) is a essential storage component for furniture, cabinetry and industrial use, with a sliding mechanism for smooth open/close access. It saves space and boosts usability, used widely in kitchens, workshops, offices and construction sites—its performance hinges on the sliding track and sturdy base material, with plywood being the top choice for durability and precision.

1.Key Slide Drawer Mechanism Types

• Ball-bearing slides: Metal with steel bearings, smooth glide and high load capacity for heavy-duty use

• Roller slides: Economical metal option for light/medium loads like office cabinets

• Wooden slides: Traditional silent design for custom furniture and restoration

• Plastic slides: Lightweight, budget-friendly for low-load small storage

    All types require a warp-resistant, dimensionally stable base—Eoncred CDX Plywood is the ideal solution for building durable slide drawer frames and bases.
