<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 137507, member: 37"]In your very last picture, you will see one drawer stop attached to the underside of the table top on the left side. There should be two with your loose block likely being the second one if it is the right size (looks too big to me). If the block is too large it may have just been a glue block used in the case somewhere or could be totally unrelated. These drawer stops help to keep the drawer from just pulling out but will not solve your flopping drawer problem. </p><p><br /></p><p>There is probably a missing pair of drawer runners that were intended to solve the flopping drawer problem. I may see the ghosts of them in your last picture. Note how the wood is lighter inside up along the top edge on each side. Not sure how they would have been attached and that block of wood could have been a spacer used in conjunction with them somehow.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
