Anyone bought this yet?
Jb
No, but I am, now. Swap drawers as easy as moving a shelf, I love it.
Thanks for the link.
Dig that crazy pronunciation of "pilaster".
Pretty spiffy product though; I could see myself using those.
Cool concept, bottom of the line slide. It could be so much better with stronger slides. Probably OK for light applications.
Where do you get them ?

somebody clue a dialup user about what "this" is?

I agree with the video pronunciation of pilaster. How do you say it?
A height adjustable drawer slide kit. Cheap Slides.
A few of the video shows that they could be used with just about any slide.
Seems to me, they wanted to use slides with the smallest profile so it would block the working of the system.
"wouldn't" block
Looks like you can use your own slides. The hook is mounted to it with a screw.
I agree, Leon. The trend seems to be heading into the direction of the undermount/hidden 'blumotion' slides. A better look, a better use of interior space. This pilaster system works well with face-frames. Light duty.
Truth is, I wish I would have thougt of it.... This company makes it sound as if people are going to be changing drawer heights on a regular basis. Just because it is easy to move the drawers, doesn't mean people are going to do that.
That would be much better!

Agreed, it will make initial installation easier for the DIY'er. Then it "might" get changed again some time in the distant future. That said however, I bet it gets changed several times initially when the DIY'er tries to get all the stuff back in that was stored in there in the first place. Obviously the set up takes up more room and adding sliding drawers of any type, even in the traditional manner, typically wastes the room between the slide and the inner cabinet side if the cabinet has face frames. I think its greatest value will be for use of new cabinets that are empty to start with and the DIY'er wants to them more convenient to access.
Well I'm sure this is one of those words where there is no clear consensus on pronunciation; I say it (and have heard it said) with a short "i", slight accent on the first syllable, with the second syllable being "lest" or "lust" instead of "LAST", but mine could very well be the "bastardized" version. According to some dictionaries the guy is using a "correct" pronunciation, but his inflection just sounds goofy to me, like he's undecided about whether the accent belongs on the first or second syllable. I don't think the guy is a wooddorker. :-)
I always thought pil-aster, like baluster. I have heard Norm say pie-laster.
The apparent pronunciation does sound odd to me also but then some think y'all is strange. How about the Boston area accent, measured 'dRawerings" for a chest of draws? Or from down her in southern Texas, the Latino lady in the shoe store cannot decide on which pair of choose to shoes for the dance.
As a retrofit item...yup, I can see that.
Well, there is the problem...anything 'as Norm say it' is suspect...
My thoughts exactly.
Which makes me all the more inclined to stick with my own. LOL!
I like the way this guy says it but I'm from Pittsburgh... I think the dictionary says it funny. Go here and click on "hear":
