    Troubleshooting sticky drawers

    nightstand drawers.jpg

    The nightstand above has a sticky middle drawer. But I can't figure out where it is sticking. Is there any systematic way that you use to figure out where the problem is?
    Thanks

    I'd rub chalk on the sides and see where it comes off as you open and close it
    The significant problems we encounter cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.

    The penalty for inaccuracy is more work

    What Brian said. I'd take the top and bottom drawers out too, so I could look inside while operating the drawer. Double check it for square to make sure it isn't racked.
