This is a beautiful desk but what a hassle to get it to work. The drawer was 1 1/8 inch smaller than the opening on one end and 1 2/8 on the other end. It should be an inch. I had to re drill the holes in the drawer to make it square and I will have to put a shim on one side and put in a new drawer slide since I didn't realize the opening was too big and I broke the cheap slides that came with the desk. I will take on this project again this coming weekend to finish it. Once it is done I think I will like it and with the new slides it should work much better that the original.
