I'm working on a laundry pedestal for my sister-in-law with some shelves above the machines. Being vertically challenged, she asked me if I could incorporate some sort of built in step stool to reach said shelves.
I'm already building a large drawer in the pedestal, so I told her I could make a lid for the drawer she could step on. Easy enough and she's small enough one normal set of slides would probably be fine. But I know if she uses it, everybody in the house will use it (and abuse it). So I'd like to cover my rear and make this thing hold as many people as will fit on it.
I searched and searched but cannot find anything on using multiple sets of slides together. I'm afraid of them being ever so slightly out of sync and not working well as a unit. Anybody done it? Any issues?
P.S., I know there are 500lb pairs I could use but they are more than double the price of 3 sets of 100lb slides. Also, I will incorporate some kind of locking mechanism to hold the drawer in place when it's being used as a step.
Thanks in advance for any help on this.
