What happens here

Prepare the under-sink cabinet by ensuring the base is clean and level. If necessary, install wooden runners or spacers to create a flat, elevated surface that clears any plumbing obstacles. Then, attach the stationary part of the drawer slides to these runners or directly to the cabinet base. It's crucial that these slides are perfectly level, parallel to each other, and accurately aligned with the slides already on the organizer. Use a drill to secure them with screws.

Goal: Mount the stationary drawer slides within the cabinet
