It’s true that the screws keep the drawer from closing and it was very frustrating- especially after spending 6 hours to assemble. Luckily my husband thought to remove the back screws from each drawer guide. They were catching and keeping the drawer from opening/ closing. Now the drawers work like drawers should. My daughter wanted the sage and its a really nice color. I’m going to look for a new knob to replace the white one on the top that doesn’t seem to fit in.
