VADANIA 12" Soft Close Drawer Slide, #VK1245, 3-Fold Full Extension, Self Silent Closing, Heavy Duty 100lb Load Capacity, Ball Bearing, Side Mount, Black, 1-Pair

Well-made product. Custom fabricated six kitchen cabinet pull-=out drawers. Easy to install, smooth operation, and very little deflection when I test-stand in the drawers.....I'm 260 lbs. :-)

I’ll preface this by saying I’ve tried almost every slide on the market that promises soft close and full extension. It’s been an exercise in frustration to the point that I’ve almost considered having our drawer boxes remade and just getting Blum slides. First the positives. The soft close mechanism is the best I’ve felt, by far. The slides are reasonably smooth and feel sturdy. The cons: No instructions in the package. Luckily, installation was similar to the multitude of other drawer slides I’ve tried, so I was able to figure it out. Check the length of the screws before you screw them all the way in on your drawers—I managed to poke through a drawer before I realized they were a hair too long. These require a decent initial tug to get them open and are just generally harder to open than the old roller slides they replaced. So far all of the models I’ve tried have been the same way but have loosened up with use, so I’m hoping these will too. I do wonder if maybe installing the glides at a very, very slight angle would help? As many others have mentioned, they are NOT full extension. My 14” slide leaves about 2.5” in the drawer. So is my quest for the perfect slide over? No. It’s super frustrating that they’re not full extension. And I wish the pull was easier. But unless I’m willing to swap out the drawer boxes so we can replace them all with Blum slides, I think these are the best we’ll get. If these were actually full extension, I’d be giving them 5 stars compared to everything else on the market.

Good bang for your buck

1st set lasted only 8 months with minimal usage, then internal orange plastic piece broke, no longer latches closed. . (Others have reported same issue). Ordered 2nd set, neither new slide will latch when on right side (installed or held in hand manually), only latches on left side. Extremely disappointed in Vadania. Tried to reach out, but assistance. Will update if any further developments. Otherwise will find a higher quality operational latching slide set.

I have a beautiful bedroom set and the glider on one of the drawers broke and the set is less than 5 years old. Even though I purchased the warranty for the furniture this is not a "warranted" item. So I was left without anyone to repair it and had no idea where to go to find a replacement. The furniture store suggested I purchase a new dresser. Yeah right!!! I looked on Amazon and they had a better replacement part for the one that was broke. It was difficult to install because it was the bottom drawer closest to the floor. The part was not the problem for making the installation difficult that was the dressers fault. I will definitely end up replacing all of the gliders for my dresser drawers with these. They are good quality and work much better than the ones originally installed.

Easy to install work great and I have drawers with cast iron pans

I have researched soft-close drawer slides for MONTHS. I purchased these after trying a different brand which disappointed. On the contrary, these slides are terrific! They have a metal pin for catching and closing the drawer, they have steel/greased ball bearings and metal spring bushing for the soft close feature. They're a cinch to install and have plenty of options for securing to your cabinet box and drawers. I did not use the provided screws only because I prefer a specific type for cabinetry. I purchased 5 sets and 4 of them are exactly what I've been looking for. I'm giving 3 stars because one of the slides, while wrapped in manufactures packaging, the ball bearing carriage was bent and 2 of the bearings were loose. I managed to 'repair' to some degree but it will never have the same integrity as the other slides. I have not contacted the seller to work something out but I still may. Shipping was very fast and again - 4 of the 5 sets are absolutely incredible. Don't waste your money on anything else. Just be sure you inspect thoroughly before you go to install.

Well first things first.... these are made in China (No Surprise). They do however seem to be fairly well made. For the installation process to go smoothly and or easily it’s going to depend on a couple of things.... How well your cabinets were built and how square/ parallel the slide mounting locations are. If your drawers are screwed up (meaning falling apart or not square) it will make the installation of these difficult as well. These slides are exactly 1/2” thick. So the drawers need to have just a hair more than that of clearance on each side...... Oh yeah one last thing. THE SCREWS THAT COME WITH THEM ARE COMPLETELY GARBAGE. I have a master set of screw drivers and bits.... not a single one fit well. They were too shallow for the bit/screw driver to properly sit inside screw.

I really like these, solid in construction easy to fit, of good design and definitely well manufactured. The bearings are almost silent and the extension is a very smooth glide. A very good product and a brand I would go back to.

Good quality, sturdy fabrication, for a 100lbs slides, we clearly see they are heavier then the greens one sold here. work smooth and precise

Good soft-close slides! Loving the full-extension feature as well as the sturdiness. Installation was smooth and clean. However, the application I was using it for required some adjustment, as noted below. Pros: - Strong and reliable. Don't seem to budge when supporting a moderate weight (>10kg) - VERY smooth. The bearings used are quiet and the spring brings the drawer to a close softly and shuts firmly. - Installation is painless. Separate the rails, measure for height, install the back screw, level, install the front screw. Repeat for the drawer. Slide the drawer in. Done! Cons: - Included screws are trash. Will immediately strip. Throw them away and use proper wood screws. - As is common with many soft-close options, will NOT work if the space between the drawer and the frame is too narrow. Take proper measurements. See note below. - May occasionally require a bit of a push before it closes flush if the springs don't catch when opening. Again, very common with soft-close and is more a consequence of installation error or user error upon opening. 99% of the time it is not an issue. Note: My application was a computer desk keyboard/mouse tray. The slides that came with the desk were cheap beyond reason and broke within the first year of use so I was very excited to try these new slides out. Because keyboard desk slides are often thinner than drawer slides, in order to get the slides to function as intended I had to shave off an extra 1/8" or more of the wood tray sides. Otherwise, if too tight of a fit these slides WILL catch and prevent proper closing. Once I had shaved off enough, they worked perfectly with no issues. Most drawers, however, will not have this issue. Measure your previous drawer slides and compare. Overall, quiet, strong, and reliable slides. More than enough for my application. Would highly recommend.

Update: Vadania reached out to me and is sending free replacements for the broken springs and issued a refund for the inconvenience. Fantastic customer service since they reached out to me. Raymond is the man!😀 The amazon support person i talked to prior in my last review wasnt able to put me in touch with the seller so they had to reach out to me. Updated to 5 stars because customer service is everything to me. The working slides in my tv stand are still working great and im very happy with them. Waited a while for these to show up, and when they did, i was finally able to finish my project. Got the first 5 pairs installed and they all worked nice and smooth. Got to the 6th pair and when i tried to open my shut drawer, all i heard was snap then the push to open turned into an always open feature. removed the drawer to find that the orange clips in the locking mechanism had both broke off. I read alot of mixed reviews on these and was really hoping that i wouldn't get any bad pairs but guess i was wrong. Amazon is going to let me return a pair so i can order a new pair to complete my project. The seller apparently doesn't offer replacements for their products which is whatever. I think the sliders themselves are fairly robust, but the plastic inside doesn't appear too robust after my first impressions. I've only had them installed about 8hours and i'll see how well they hold up long term. I should have ordered an extra pair based off the previous reviews and now im upset i didn't because now i'm going to have to wait to get a pair of sliders to finish my project yet again.

The instructions and linked video was not as clear as it should have been. How and where to take measurements from was not included. It put a lot of trust in the installer to know how to line up the drawer with the cabinet and be able to transfer slide mounting locations between them. A issue I came across was, when trying to get the drawers with glides installed in the mounted sliders, it was very hard to line these up and ended up bending several of the ball bearing holders, causing the ball bearings to come loose. Tips on how to do this would have helpful. Overall, once installed, it does perform very well; feels very smooth and the self/soft closing feature is awesome.
