Three days on a drawer slide install, still not right
Bookmatched walnut drawer fronts and the soft-close undermounts keep binding on the left side. Anyone else burn a whole weekend on hardware that should take an hour?

One thing that might help is checking the drawer box itself for square. Bookmatched fronts look great, but they can hide a slightly twisted box underneath. Had a similar issue once, turned out the left side was out by just a couple millimeters, and it threw the whole slide alignment off. Grab a framing square or even a long straight edge and check the cabinet opening at the top and bottom, especially on the problem side. Sometimes the slides are fine, but the box is fighting them the whole way.
