I might add while you have the drawers out, it is a good time to reinforce the bottoms. They have only a thin peice of vener wood that will come out of the groove in the side of the drawer if you have a heavy load in it.

I re-did all 22 drawers and the 4 dinning room chairs with strips of hard wood fixed accross the bottom of the drawers and attached them with brads into the front and rear of the drawer. They will take 2 times the weight now. Next I am going to replace the pantry shelves with 3/4" oak. One of the originals has already came apart..to many cans of beans I guess.
