These are top quality slide rails. Bought them to replace broken rails on our aging Copenhagen Office Desk. New rails were far superior to the original rails. Simple installation - rails are stamped either L (Left) or R (Right) to make things really simple, and mounting holes are all slotted. The screws they provided were small pan head phillips - I didn't think they would hold up in the manufactured wood so I replaced them with something better. The bearing slides are very smooth and when pushed under the desk the keyboard tray will latch into place resulting in a little extra force being necessary to extend the tray. On the down side, the slide extension is a bit less than I would have expected, but nothing to be concerned about.

This keyboard slide was easy to set up. All you need is to supply the wooden tray. I picked up a cheap ($9.00), long, white shelf from Lowes to match my white table. The slide comes with all the necessary wood screws. The nice thing about doing it this way is that you get to choose what color and how long you want the shelf. Many of the other ready-made keyboard trays I've seen have been too short for me i.e. there is only space for a keyboard but none for a mouse. Sometimes those other trays will have a pull-out section just for the mouse but I doubt those would be sturdy. By getting a longer shelf/piece of wood, you can also have space for a mouse and room to spare. Installation was fairly easy. I attached the rails to my chosen shelf, then attached the whole thing to the underside of my table. I had lots of stuff on my table already so I didn't bother turning it upside down. Instead, I used a box and one or two books to hold the shelf up to the table so I wouldn't have to hold it while trying to screw it in. The whole thing feels sturdy even with the weight of my hands resting on the keyboard tray. It also slides easily and quietly. Am very happy with the purchase and would buy this product again if/when I have a need for another keyboard tray.

Cheapest slides I could find and they work great. Very smooth. No Complaints. I've since purchased two more computer keyboard sliders.

i recieved the item in good time and it was the right length. it works perfectly and i am very satisfied

Although the keyboard slide is 14" long, it only extends ~10". I'm a woodworker making a desk for a client, and sadly this wonderfully put together ball bearing drawer slide is too short for my project! No information on the page stated the 10" extension - I assumed it to be a 14" extension given that was the only number on the product page.

These came as a pair, with mounting screws included. I flipped my height-adjustable brackets around and set on the deepest depth. Tray slides easily, and locks into place. Just what I needed.

These are great slides. I ordered a pair of them to make some under-desk drawers for a work desk I have in the garage. The only reason I'm rating these a four is because I ended up finding a comparable keyboard slide at the local Home Depot (on the very bottom shelf of their cabinet drawer part section) for almost half the price (after adding in shipping for the one's here).

My original rails broke on my desk and rather than paying 60 bucks for a new keyboard tray set I stumbled upon these.
These rails are great, especially for the low price.
The locking positions work wonders and the height adjustment is also a great touch.
I would reccomend these to anyone looking to buy a new keyboard tray.
All I had to do was cut up a peice of wood to put in between the rails.

This keyboard slide was the perfect replacement for my old computer tray hardware. It glides smoothly and I can't tell the difference from the original. The best part is it's much studier than the original so I know that it will last a long time.

I ordered two sets of these slides to reattach 2 shallow drawers to the underside of my grandfather's handmade trestle style table. I needed to adjust the height of the slides but the set screws wouldn't budge. I emailed the company on Saturday evening and was very happy to find a reply Sunday morning, suggesting that the paint may not have cured completely when the screws were inserted, creating the problem. There were suggestions for ways to loosen the screws. I used a combination of methods and it took all day - trying, leaving it for a while, coming back to try again. Finally around 5 pm the last screw came loose. From there it was a piece of cake and the drawers were easily attached. Had it not been for this problem, these would have received 5 stars. I was extremely pleased with the fast responses from the company. The price is very good and the product works well.
