So, at this point, I unscrewed the slide hardware attached the drawer (again) and reattached it about 1/2″ lower. This will make the drawer sit higher on the slide hardware attached the interior of the cabinet. To fix a drawer dragging on the bottom of the cabinet you have to lower the slide hardware on the drawer. I didn’t take this into account when installing the drawer slide hardware onto the drawer and cabinet. Our cabinets are inset so the frame around the cabinet opening is narrower than the interior of the cabinet. The drawer was dragging on the bottom of the cabinet frame, making it hard to open and scratching the frame. Once I fixed my drawer so that the slides could fully extend I hit another roadblock.

I realized that the front and back pieces were about 1/8″ too wide as I was putting my box together. The box I built as my drawer was not perfect.
