How r u getting $20/pair? I'm seeing $32. Have they raised prices,
am I looking at the wrong product, do you get a discount, or...?

I'm gonna need about 15 pair and $300 I can probably convince myself;
$400 is a bit more iffy.

The more expensive one is concealed...normally you don't see the slides.

You can get Blum Tandem Plus concealed slides at Lee Valley for $29.
Regular side-mount Accuride full-extension 100lb slides are $15.50.
No-name ones are $12.50.

All depends what you want to pay for.

I can't find links to the above using Google - do you have pics/
specs?

If it is, it's likely to be on the $2 slide - I would expect to be
paying 12 UKP (english pounds) / US$20 for a set of 2 slides

Yes, and they are in totally different class.

The cheap ones will do the job but will trundle and rattle in and out, and
if you push them skew they will grind and jam. they are self closing because
the last bit of travel is downhill.

The expensive ones will swish effortlessly in and out regardless of what
sort of sideways shove you give them, they will close themselves in a
fascinating mysterious way, and will probably last better too. The only
disadvantage will be that there will be some flex in the steel so if you
have really heavy drawers or contents and very little gap or tolerance
around the drawer front you may have trouble.

If you are going to buy in quantity, $10-$12 is about the right price.

Shop around.

Check out www.cshardware.com. I use their full extension, self closing ball
bearing slides in a lot of my cabinets, and they are VERY reasonably priced.
I've never had a pair fail in anything I built.

I wouldn't go with either unless it had some specific feature that I needed.
Rockler has full extension 100-pound-rated 22" Accurides for $18/pair.

Whether full extension is worth the money is a matter of personal preference
and the nature of the piece. If it's something whose nature is that a fully
loaded drawer pulled all the way out could be a tipping hazard then I'd go
with the 3/4 extension. Otherwise full. Trying to find something in the
back of a drawer that you can't get all the way open is a pain.

My favorites are Hittich QuadroV6 under mount, full extension drawer slides.
You have to build the drawer box to dimension, but well worth it for the
price of around $20/pair +/-.

Belay my last msg. I found them for $20 at cshardware. Thanx. Looks
like this is the way I'm gonna go.
