Learned the hard way about drawer slide alignment last month

I kept having drawers stick and thought it was bad slides, turns out I wasn't checking if the cabinet box was square before mounting. A guy at the lumber yard asked if my frame was racked and that tipped me off. Anyone else ever fight with stubborn drawers only to find a simple fix?

Oh man, that cabinet box being out of square is a REAL pain. My husband spent three hours yelling at a set of drawers once, threatening to take a sledgehammer to them. Turns out the frame was racked by like a quarter inch and we just needed to shim the whole thing. He felt SO stupid after, but honestly who thinks to check the box itself? That lumber yard guy saved you a whole lot of headache, I bet.
