I've been doing projects that require some 3/4 extension, epoxy coated
slides like the KV 1284 or Blum B230's. I've been buying the Blum's from
Woodworkers Hardware. The prices are great, the selection great, etc.
That said - with some forced belt tightening, I continue to look for less
expensive slides -- and am willing to give up some quality.
Gliderite.com is often mentioned - but they seem to be out of the 3/4 epoxy
styles.
I'm not an eBay user at all - just can't get comfortable with the
risk/reward ratio.
Doing a google - this company www.cshardware.com appeared.

They're from Wisconsin, so I know they're trustyworthy.
Heck, if you check their employee list, Brad Pitt is hanging out there
(doesn't look to bummed about losing Jennifer) and George Bush is working
the line too. (http://www.cshardware.com/aboutus.html)
They prices are real attractive - has anyone used their housebrand slides?
If so - whadda think?
If not - I'll probably be one of the first and post my sentiments here!

They are wholesale only. If you can't buy from them drop me a line and
I can get the price and sell them to you and have them drop shipped to
you. They are boxed in 25 pair boxes. I used to buy Blum 230s for
about $3.00. They are probably higher now since steel went up. I only
use full extension slides anymore.

Did a Froogle search on "drawer slides" and got several hits including
price comparison sites. Worth a shot.

These are fairly cheap(frugal): (under $2 a pair)

and Woodworker Supply is VERY safe to deal with.

I've dealt with them several times over the last couple of years and I
dont think you'd be disappointed with their slides. Quality is as
good as Blum and the price is definitely ok.
