You can check the load-bearing capacity of the drawer yourself by the following methods: fully pull the drawer out, press the outer edge of the front of the drawer with your hand, and observe the forward inclination of the drawer from the side. The smaller the forward tilt, the stronger the load-bearing capacity of the drawer.

2. Internal structure: inside the slide rail is its bearing structure, which is directly related to its load-bearing capacity. At present, there are both steel ball slides and silicon wheel slides on the market. The steel ball slide rail automatically removes dust and dirt on the slide rail through the rolling of the steel ball, so as to ensure the cleanliness of the slide rail, and the sliding function will not be affected by the dirt entering the interior. At the same time, the steel ball can spread the force to the surroundings, ensuring the horizontal and vertical stability of the drawer.
