Thanks for the replies. I'm set to mount the drawers this weekend. Sounds like the middle of the drawers will be the way to go. I'll post pics when they're in. Thanks again!

<p>A deep loaded drawer is more stable from the side to side movement with the slides set in the middle of the drawers. As tom Moores says, there is really no set reccommended location of the slides. I have after many years determined that the best location of a large heavy weighted drawer benifits better is set near the middle. The drawer is more stable and even opens and closes easier. </p>

<p>I think it probably doesn't matter, it does seem that optimum location would be at the center of gravity of the drawer with it fully loaded, i usually set them at the bottom of the drawer and at the bottom of the drawer opening which automatically gives clearance and the bottom of the drawer, i have also set them at the center of the drawer when doing several one above the other, it just seemed simpler to layout</p>
