Yup
  The thin plastic tape (I have some original teflon tape from the 60's) 
slides under the harshest conditions.
   I have some "hardware" drawers that have to weigh well over 100 
pounds apiece. These are drawers with coffee cans of carriage bolts and 
lag bolts and nails of all sizes. Another with casters of all sizes and 
long bolts.
   An old dresser from a yard sale or the dump I can't remember which, 
completely stuffed with steel and brass really.
  I am often shocked that it holds up, but it does.

    UHMW (poor mans teflon) is just about as slick, and it comes any way 
you want it. Sheets, rolls, blocks even. Thin sheets or rolls are very 
cheap.
   Its hard to glue on (glue doesn't stick to either teflon or UHMW for 
crap) so I just staple it on. Take a hammer and punch and drive the 
staples a little deeper after, so they countersink themselves below the 
surface.

  Ball bearing guides are pretty nice, but don't kid yourself, they take 
---a long time-- to install. Plus you have to readjust them occasionally 
and that takes time.
  Plus unless you buy the most expensive ones, that take up the most 
room, they only open to 3/4.
  I have some in use. I like them ok.  But I have a big pile of more of 
them I picked up, stashed.
And don't seem to be using them up very quick.

    My advise is not to make very many of the drawers too deep. (top to 
bottom)
You are going to use what you have, regardless.  Fill it right to the 
top in time. Guaranteed
  So shallower drawers, but more of them is best.

   A deep drawer stuffed to the top takes a whole lot longer to rummage 
though, than a shallow drawer.
     yours Scott
