Blum Drawer Views
Blum drawer slides offer some of the best innovation in the industry. This brand offers many different types of drawer slides, including side mounted glides and undermount slides. Blum tandem drawer slides conceal the entire runner system on wood drawers, so that you get a seamless look for your cabinetry. This look is especially ideal for high-quality cabinetry in homes and businesses. Not only do Blum drawer slides look flawless, but they also work flawlessly. The reason Blum drawer slides are so sought-after is due to their innovative open and close features. Many of their models open with a small tug, and close without banging or bouncing. DrawerSlides.com offers a wide range of their products and will help you get the best deal on the Internet.
The Metabox Blum drawer slides are also heavy duty. They hold up to 100 lbs. and are self-closing (what Blum calls their Blumatic self-closing action). Several of our customers (myself included) load up their drawers with cans, even two or three high. You can easily do this with Blum's interior rollouts. The photo at right is of a Metabox rollout with a wood front. Your cabinet maker may make the fronts differently.
The only other systems we used at all in our custom cabinet shop were Tandem and Tandembox, but really only rarely, because our customers did not want to pay for the expense that comes with the very high quality of Tandem or Tandembox. We found the Solo and Standard Blum drawer slides to be okay, but not high enough quality for a custom shop.
If you are a consumer, I would seek out Metabox drawers for my home. Ask your custom cabinet shop if they use Metabox (or Tandem or Tandem box if you can afford those types of drawers). If you are purchasing factory cabinets, beware. There are metal drawers that look like Metabox, but aren't. The don't have the quality or guarantee that Blum Metabox has.
