I'm sure this discussion has happened here before but it's time for another round.
I'm working on some built-in cabinets and the constraints presented are leading me to a 4ft+ wide drawer that is about 24in deep. Here are a couple of things I'm already considering:
1. side mount slides probably won't work because of their tendency to rack side to side
2. the bottom will need more than the standard 1/4 ply
3. two, well places pulls will be necessary
4. While splitting the drawer into two would be a reasonable idea, the design constraints would make it look awkward
My questions are:
1. How do under mount slides handle racking?
2. What am I not considering that I should be?
3. While I'm pretty set on the design, are there any suggestions that might help

How do you know you're learning anything if you don't screw up once in awhile?
