Removing a drawer from a dresser is a relatively simple task that can be completed in a few minutes. It is important to remove the drawer correctly to avoid damaging the dresser or the drawer itself. To get started, gather some basic tools including a screwdriver or cordless drill, pair of pliers, and a small hammer. Keep in mind the make and model of your dresser may differ from the instructions outlined below so be sure to read any dresser specific instructions.
First, you need to identify the type of drawer slides that are being used. There are two main types of drawer slides: side-mounted and bottom-mounted. Side-mounted drawer slides are attached to the sides of the drawer and the dresser, while bottom-mounted drawer slides are attached to the bottom of the drawer and the dresser. Once you have identified the type of drawer slides that are being used, you can begin the removal process.
