I finally bought a (flat pack) dresser recently. I love it, but when sliding the drawers in and out there is some minor sticking/resistance and some very slight misalignment. I am perfectly fine with this and actually kind of prefer it (it’s nice that the cat can’t open them), but I am wondering if over the long term, the resistance will damage the drawer slides in some way ? They’re telescoping metal slides, on the side of each drawer, attached with tiny screws. I really like this thing and want to keep it in good shape as long as possible.
No, don’t put graphite on grease!
If there already is some grease, it will last for a loooong time.
