      When I moved a few more years ago than this video it would have been awesome, but nobody that helped me move knew how to take out the drawers from the chest or dresser and they bent them trying to force them 😥,they don't close correctly the bedroom set was like brand new had only purchased it a few years before from a furniture store and not cheap either. Hope that there may be a way to straighten it out.

    You are a godsend. Thank you for this. I’ve only had this furniture for 3 years I thought it was ruined. I’ve been sitting here with this drawer open for 2 weeks. It took me 5 minutes to pull out the clothes which were stuck under the drawer thanks to your instructions😁

    You saved my drawer. A very important file fell behind one of my drawer and I couldn't figure out how to remove the drawer to get my file without ruining the drawer.
    I tried removing my drawer after watching your video, and yes! I got my file👍

    You are a savior. I got this huge, clunky desk from Pottery Barn about 13 years ago. It was dangerous how my girlfriend and I moved it. It was heavy to begin with, but we couldn't figure out how to remove ANY drawers. About 3 weeks ago, a middle drawer was stuff with cards, etc., and some fell out behind the drawer and downward. When I opened the drawer below it, a filing drawer, the stuff fell behind it. In the designers wisdom, he chose to permanently cover the underside of the desk below the filing draw. I've struggled to figure out how to get it out. THANK YOU SO MUCH! My desk is in tact thanks to you.

    Didn't realize that left side went up and right side went down. I would have never figured that out on my own....and surely would have broken the whole drawer. Thank You!!
