Alot more info is going to be needed because you probably need a matching pair that go on the drawers as well as the cabinet.

Consider treating yourself to a new cabinet it maybe easier and prime day starts at midnight.

Re: What have you fixed lately?

The draw itself hasn't got a rail and rather a groove that goes on the plastic rail shown in the picture attached above.

Thanks

Time for an upgrade, then you don't have to worry about hole spacing etc, because something won't line up?

Re: What have you fixed lately?

I don't have the space. I'd get an oak set ideally.

At the moment all the bits in my room are of similar wood colour.

The draw still works though. It's only when taking out the draw fully the rail dips onto the floor. It works.

Re: What have you fixed lately?

SnoopZ used it all on his arse

On a more serious note. Possibly. I don't understand there being screw holes but staples have been used

Because it's an off the shelf running that the manufacturer used, they just cheaped out and stables it in, it's likely a very cheap piece of furniture which is why I said replace it with something cheap and similar.

Re: What have you fixed lately?

It's pine I think. Cheap. Yes. I've found another piece on gumtree but I don't like the feet.

Take them off possibly but it'll then sit lower

Does it need to be second hand and super cheap? Imagine what the lady of the house kept in those drawers...

How about this?
