I am working on a project with a pair of flush face drawers. Does anyone have a recommendation on a high performance drawer slide to use on this project?

Blum Tandem with Blumotion. Love those things. They make a special clip for inset drawers that let you adjust.

+1 to the Blum Tandems though I hesitate to recommend the Blum Motion. I think they are a gimmick (as are most of the self closing options available) that don't add much to the finished product. They don't work consistently well and so adjustment is more arbitrary than with the simple close the drawer by yourself original Blum Tandems. Those install perfectly and work for ever. I highly recommend Blum Tandems.

Matt,
Do you have a link to this clip? I'm working on 7 drawers that will use these slides --additional adjustment would be super helpful.

Thanks, Gary

I've got two kids under 4, they like slamming drawers. The Blumotion in the kitchen drawers helps keep things a bit more manageable.

I put blumotion on all my shop drawers - I wanted to learn how to install them before I did anything for management - they are NOT get treated gently and have been flawless for the 4+ years I have had them in use
