Well you are just the man I want then - I have a question for you if you are a furniture expert. :) I have a solid rimu roll-top desk and a couple of the drawers are sticky. Despite rubbing candle wax on the wood and even sanding it down a little it still gets harder to open and shut the drawers. I know the reason for this - it's the wood expanding or whatever, I just don't know how to fix it permanently. Should it be sanded down a little more? I'm not sure of the proper terminology but the drawers have grooves in them that slide on plastic fixed runners. Ta. :cool:	FoxyMX (5)

Ta . :cool: GF and I are willing to look at your drawers,after looking at them for some time,we will make a decision on what to do . If the drawer is binding,you have to ascertain where and remove some material . Can't say I am familiar with that type of runner .	Cicero (40)
