Using a measuring tape and pencil, carefully mark the precise locations for the drawer slides on the horizontal step panels of the stair unit. Ensure consistent placement for each drawer. Pre-drill pilot holes to prevent splitting the wood, then attach one section of the drawer slides to the stair structure using a drill and appropriate screws. Verify that the slides are level and aligned to ensure smooth drawer operation later.
