ABSTRACT:
A vertical support for supporting a drawer slide mechanism in a cabinet. The vertical support includes a support member that has an opening and a resilient tab member that extends into the opening. The resilient tab member releasably engages the slide mechanism as it is disposed in the opening. Alternatively, a resilient tab member is attached to the slide mechanism and is adapted to releasably engage an opening in the front vertical support member. A method is also provided for assembling a drawer support assembly in a cabinet. The method comprises the steps of providing a cabinet housing, a slide mechanism that has a forward and rear portion, and a front vertical support member that has an opening and a resilient tab member extending into the opening. The front vertical support is attached to the housing and the forward portion of the slide mechanism is secured to the front vertical support member such that the resilient tab member releasably engages the forward portion.
