Drawer slides and drawer runners differ in design, features, and usage. Drawer slides are more complex, with rails and ball bearings or rollers for smooth, quiet operation.
Their features include soft-close, self-close, and full-extension, allowing full access to drawer contents. Slides can be side-mounted, bottom-mounted, or centre-mounted, making them ideal for high-end and frequently used furniture.
Drawer runners are more simple, are typically made of wood or metal, with a fixed rail and guide, and are suitable for wooden drawers. For extra personalisation, a runner system can be side-mounted or bottom-mounted. While easier to install, they don’t offer the smoothness or features of drawer slides and are commonly used in basic or budget-friendly furniture.
