Soft-close drawer runners are standard in mid-range and above kitchen cabinetry because kitchen drawers are opened and closed dozens of times daily. The same logic applies to a bedroom chest of drawers, it is opened every morning and evening at minimum, often multiple times. Without soft-close, drawers are pushed closed with a knock that produces both noise and impact stress on the drawer-front fixings. Soft-close runners decelerate in the final travel and close without contact noise or impact load. The DHS white gloss chest of drawers includes soft-close runners on all eight drawers, a feature that is more relevant over the lifetime of the piece than it is at the point of purchase.
