Last night I bought some sliding cabinet baskets for the pantry from Lowe’s and installed one of them in the pantry. The good part is that it works and I did not injure myself. The bad part is that the tolerance on the glide is too close and so the basket tends to get stuck and has to be pushed a little to the side in order to clear and tends to scrape a bit against the glide and not glide too easily. I guess that I will install the other three and see if they’re any better. Maybe I just need to exchange this particular one at Lowe’s.
I would’ve hoped that for $50 I’d get a sliding mechanism with rollers or ball bearings or such, but alas, it’s just a simple metal on metal kind of thing. If anyone knows of a better 14″ or so sliding basket, let me know!
