Science Guy: It took me about 20 minutes to install the slides with the included #1 Philips screws. They are heavy duty precision slides with no play that I could detect. The soft close works very well and is almost silent. The drawer is held open and closed by friction due to the design and that is a very good feature.
I am very pleased and will definitely buy these again.

SammyBoy: I installed 10 of these and they all worked perfectly.

FanBelt32: Some `soft close` rail kits the action is cocked as the user begins to open a given drawer. This leads to a `high` opening effort. The folks at VADANIA didn't get this right. Though a well made rail & the correct high quality self-centering screws, the high opening effort is a bummer.
I installed two-pair of these: the install was straight forward, but I have an unhappy, finished result with the high opening effort. I would do more homework to find the `right` soft-close drawer slides. BTW: the choices at the Big Box (Home Depot / Loews) store are worse yet: Yes, full extension, no soft close, +the cheesy screws.
Cheers,

Pappie: This soft close system is great and the price is also great.
You can also buy them in sets of six for bigger jobs.
I recommend this item for people that need a 12 inch drawer slide with soft close.

Matthew Dunphy: I have a Poly Evolver Keyboard - what that means in plain English is I have a big heavy thing that takes up a lot of space, and I keep it in a cozy little room. In order to make better use of space, I decided to build a sliding shelf for it, using a couple of pieces of pine, these drawer slides mounted to some leftover red oak I found in the dumpster when they installed flooring in the new apartments next door. The result is a smooth gliding, easy access setup that looks great fully extended - no sagging or anything like that.

John Demianiuk: The instructions and linked video was not as clear as it should have been. How and where to take measurements from was not included. It put a lot of trust in the installer to know how to line up the drawer with the cabinet and be able to transfer slide mounting locations between them. A issue I came across was, when trying to get the drawers with glides installed in the mounted sliders, it was very hard to line these up and ended up bending several of the ball bearing holders, causing the ball bearings to come loose. Tips on how to do this would have helpful. Overall, once installed, it does perform very well; feels very smooth and the self/soft closing feature is awesome.

Tasha: I’ll preface this by saying I’ve tried almost every slide on the market that promises soft close and full extension. It’s been an exercise in frustration to the point that I’ve almost considered having our drawer boxes remade and just getting Blum slides.
First the positives.
The soft close mechanism is the best I’ve felt, by far.
The slides are reasonably smooth and feel sturdy.
The cons:
No instructions in the package. Luckily, installation was similar to the multitude of other drawer slides I’ve tried, so I was able to figure it out.
Check the length of the screws before you screw them all the way in on your drawers—I managed to poke through a drawer before I realized they were a hair too long.
These require a decent initial tug to get them open and are just generally harder to open than the old roller slides they replaced. So far all of the models I’ve tried have been the same way but have loosened up with use, so I’m hoping these will too. I do wonder if maybe installing the glides at a very, very slight angle would help?
As many others have mentioned, they are NOT full extension. My 14” slide leaves about 2.5” in the...

Ryu SpeedRyu Speed: Good soft-close slides! Loving the full-extension feature as well as the sturdiness. Installation was smooth and clean. However, the application I was using it for required some adjustment, as noted below.
Pros:
- Strong and reliable. Don't seem to budge when supporting a moderate weight (>10kg)
- VERY smooth. The bearings used are quiet and the spring brings the drawer to a close softly and shuts firmly.
- Installation is painless. Separate the rails, measure for height, install the back screw, level, install the front screw. Repeat for the drawer. Slide the drawer in. Done!
Cons:
- Included screws are trash. Will immediately strip. Throw them away and use proper wood screws.
- As is common with many soft-close options, will NOT work if the space between the drawer and the frame is too narrow. Take proper measurements. See note below.
- May occasionally require a bit of a push before it closes flush if the springs don't catch when opening. Again, very common with soft-close and is more a consequence of installation error or user error upon opening. 99% of the time it is not an issue.
Note: My application was a computer desk keyboard/mouse...

Mike A: Although I didn't end up using these, they are very good quality and construction. Heavy metal construction and very smooth operation.
Didn't use because I was able to repair the existing slides.
But these are destined for replacing the slides on the kitchen drawers because they are full extension.
