Install Drawer Slides to Nightstand Frame

How to Build Modern Nightstands
What happens here
Start by installing the lower drawer slide on one side of the nightstand frame. Use a scrap piece of wood as a spacer to ensure the slide is at the correct height, allowing for even spacing between drawers. Screw the drawer slide into the pre-drilled holes in the nightstand frame. Repeat this for the corresponding slide on the opposite side of the drawer opening. Ensure the slides are level and parallel to each other. For subsequent slides, measure the distance from the top of the lower slide to the desired position for the next, using spacers for consistent gaps between drawers. The video also shows using a marking gauge to ensure consistent depth placement of the slides.
Goal: Attach the soft-close drawer slides to the inside of the nightstand frame, ensuring correct height and spacing for smooth operation.
