View Full Version : Are there any "lightweight" soft-close drawer slides? Like for a keyboard tray?

I'm building a desk, and am looking for some drawer slides for a few little pencil trays that will pull out. I'd like to find some side-mount slides that feel more "quality" than the typical ones. I don't necessarily need self-close or soft-close, but I would like them to pull very smoothly. Any recommendation?

I don't know that there is a truly exceptional slide for this category but the Rockler Top Slides side mounts are good -http://www.rockler.com/articles/the-topslide-guide.cfm.
I think these and Accurides or Grant/Hettich or KVs are state of the art even though they are just the standard. If there is something way better I'd like to hear about it.

Thanks, Sam - I'll give those a try.
