Entryway Console Table

What happens here

Install 12-inch full-extendable ball-bearing drawer slides into the console table openings and onto the drawer boxes. Carefully align the drawer faces with their corresponding drawer boxes. Use a hot glue gun to temporarily secure the drawer faces in their exact position. Once the hot glue dries, gently pull the drawer out and drive screws from the inside of the drawer box into the back of the drawer face, permanently attaching it. The hot glue provides a secure temporary hold while allowing for fine adjustments before permanent fastening.

Goal: Full-extension ball-bearing drawer slides are installed, followed by the attachment of the painted drawer faces to the assembled drawer boxes.

What they say

Hide

we were aiming for. For hardware, we chose 12-inch full-extension ball bearing slides from a local store. After installing them, it's time to mount the drawer front panels. Now, regarding the facades: it is very important to keep them even, as the pattern transitions from one panel to the next. For this, in my opinion, it's best to use a glue gun. Secure the drawer fronts with hot glue. Let them dry. Carefully pull out the drawer and secure the front with screws from the back.
