Good morning. I just picked up a couple of cabinets from the Omnibus wall system by Sven Ellekaer. One of them is this chest with three drawers, but the drawers are so tight they barely slide. All of the drawer corner joints are tight; it just seems like the wood has swelled just enough over the years to make the drawers too tight. Does anyone have any tips to make this type of drawer slide easier? Thanks
@mark737 ; Good morning/afternoon to you too.
Phew..When I first saw my E-mail notification ( before I clicked into it) all I noticed were the words "Tight Drawers". 😱
Thankfully you are talking about a piece of furniture 😏
I am not an expert, but what about trying some beeswax, soap or something along those lines and see if it helps?

@lexi Thanks, and I figured that title might help get some responses, though I wasn't sure if it was an Americanism that wouldn't translate. I did try beeswax already but that did not do it. The sides of the drawers are clearly rubbing the sides of the cabinet so it needs some sort of spreading of the cabinet, or reduction of the drawer width. I'll try sanding down the sides to see if that makes a difference but am open to other suggestions.
