Step 1
Open the drawer to its fullest extent and remove the contents. This will prevent your belongings from falling onto the floor or into the drawer recess where the box is currently inserted.
Step 2
Look on the outer edge of either side of the drawer for the guide rails or slides to determine which assembly is installed in your furniture.
Step 3
Find the protruding "tabs" on each side of the drawer box, preventing the drawer from coming out of the recess. These may be in the front or in the back of the drawer box. On some Scandinavian furniture, you'll find no tabs.
Step 4
Push the drawer in slightly. Press on the tabs with your thumbs or fingers; then lift the front of the drawer up and out of the recess, pulling it out freely.
