Similar thing here, my dear mother had a new kitchen table in 1969, but if the drawer was pulled out more than 2" it was impossible to push it back without a lot of wiggleing. Then when she died and we moved into her house in 1989, the same thing kept happening to me, so I told Mr N to get a new table, he took one look at it, and told me we had put the drawer in the wrong end for all those years, he turned the table round, slotted the drawer in, and hey presto problem solved! I just wish mum was around to see!!!!
