I'm planning out a tall chest of drawers, and am not sure about the slides. The Blum Tandem 18" slides are recommended, but they are $38/pr. I have 6 drawers @ 32" wide, and don't want to spend $240 on slides.
I've done some looking around at Accuride and Blum and note that both give a maximum drawer width, with most being around 16" (for kitchen applications I guess). Why is there a maximum width? I guess I don't understand how the width of the drawer has any effect on the slide (a 100# load is a 100# load, whether it's for a 16" drawer or 32" drawer, right?).
If the width of the drawer really doesn't matter, I was thinking of getting the Accuride 3732 (http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=10950).
What do you all think?
