Makes drawers stable
I had an ikea vanity that had the drawers falling through and added this to fix it. It does the job and is holding up well after a while. It’s stable and easy to follow the instructions.

Great kit, does the job perfectly
Have some old Ikea chest drawers and the bottoms formed a "belly" and couldn't keep anything in anymore. Got this kit and issue was resolved. Not sure on the ease of use as my husband put them on. Very happy with it

Absolute GENIUS! Saves weak drawers from the landfill
This is just what the doctor ordered. I was about to throw out a set of drawers in frustration at the poor quality build. I was thinking that it is a shame there isn't an easy way to fix them so that something holds the middle of the drawer in place. Then I thought there MUST be something like that out there.... There WAS... THIS!So easy to fit. I watched the video, screwed in the first bracket, watched the video again, strung out the strap, watched the video again, fitted the second bracket. DONE. Then repeat until drawers all done. Less than 1 hour and I had done 6 drawers. This kit it fantastic! And thank you for the video.

Works well but there are cheaper alternatives
The kit does the job, but it’s hard to justify the price for what you get. While it works well to fix sagging drawers, a simple set of wedges available for much cheaper will achieve the same results. The kit includes a flexible cable that’s supposed to reinforce the drawer, but honestly, installing wedges works just as well and takes about the same amount of time. The extra parts feel unnecessary and likely inflate the cost without adding much value. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly fix, skip this and grab some wedges instead. It’s an okay product, but not worth the premium price. 3/5 stars.

Saved old drawers headed for recycling
I used this kit on an old set of IKEA drawers that kept losing their bottoms due to the weight of clothes in each drawer. The kit is easy to install, just needs a bit of welly to screw the items to the drawer. Now the drawers are sturdier as ever, even one that suffered from serious sagging (approx 1.5cm). I can happily report that there have been no issues after several months of use. Thanks to the kit, I've managed to salvage a set of drawers that were headed to the local recycling centre.

Be careful with the screws
The item did the job it was designed to do by pulling the bowed rear drawer panel straight trapping the drawer base in the groove.I prefer to use a wooden batten with little brackets instead as it also supports the drawer base which these straps do not, but thought I would try these.BEWARE : Make sure you measure the supplied screws against the drawer thickness before you use them. They were too long for both front and back on my drawers and could have easily ruined the drawer by coming through the front surface. See photos. You may have to purchase some shorter screws.
